I really, really hate to force users to use my network edge router (I
provide the ONT, though, and I provide an edge router that works and
most users do take it), but it can be tough to ensure users have
something that supports all the right modern features and can be
configured via standard means.

It would be nice if the consumer router industry could get its
collective act together and at least come up with some easy-ish to
understand feature support table that customers can match up with
their service provider's list of needs.  The status quo of a list of
devices that work right (which is of course often staggeringly short
if you're doing any of these modern transition mechanisms) that needs
constant updating and may not be easily available is not ideal.

Heck just having a real, complete list of supported features on the
model support page on their website would be an improvement...

My experience is that the room of folk that prefer to run their own CPE
is far less full than the ones who don't.

So outside of some power users (who probably run a network of some
kind), this isn't going to be a huge problem.
