Jan> IOW external consumers want to implement their own, independent policy Jan> (if so desired). Merely exposing the API does not require any BFD user to actually call it. Furthermore it seems fine if it changes. And, if it isn't fine in some case, then that situation can be addressed when this actually happens. TBH This seems unlikely to me and anyway doesn't seem like a very strong reason to prevent the function from being made public. Tom
