The vision is great. But in my experience, the vendors and implementations basically ruin the dream for anyone who doesn't have his pull. you know what helps? lots of operations folks asking for the same set of
capabilities... Vendors build what will make them money. If you want a device to do X, getting lots of your friends in the operator community to agree and talk to the vendor with the same message helps the vendor understand and prioritize the request. If you want more/better/faster/simpler configuration via 'script' (program) it makes sense to ask the vendor(s) for these capabilities... -chris
