Agreed. It is worth noting however that at least in some systems
(802.11) link sensing (hysteresis - when the word is properly used
- is just a detail there) makes the difference between a system
that doesn't work (due to the differences in 802.11 broadcast and
multicast) and one that works. Link metrics make the difference
between a system that works (for at least some uses) and one that
may work better.

Will you please read the metrics draft, and my postings here, which have
said, again and again, that this is NOT the proposal.
