It would be incredibly useful though for ATM PVCs for xDSL connections.
All our DSL customers have an RFC1483 bridged encapsuled ATM PVC, and
we have to configure them by hand (thousands of 'em) because each subinterface
can have a different UBR rate or ACL attached to it.

Auto-configuring a (ATM/frame) circuit via radius as soon as it comes
up like redback allows you to do would make our provisioning system
much much simpler.
