Not sure what you mean by this, but the painful reality is that most stuff, once deployed, gets promptly forgotten about, much the same as you might ignore a wall wart power supply under your desk until it started smelling funny or stopped delivering electricity. Thus, I contend that one's routers should be configured to avoid ticking time bombs.

and i am saying that you should use a router configuration *system* that avoids ticking time bombs. no router should be neglected and unloved.

I agree 100%, I'm just acknowledging reality and suggesting that we should not promulgate practices which don't take into account the skew between best-implementation-and-followthrough and oversight-by-PHB. -r
