I think it is a very useful thing to have a common set of *control
plane* features across everything you get from a vendor.

Not like today, where one platform can do, like SSH with keys, another
one can handle copper SFPs, and a third one can do MPLS with static
label paths, but no platform can do all of it...

(Of course, if a given platform does not support stuff like "GRE tunnel
for user traffic", it would be nice if the OS would actually tell you,
instead of just letting you configure non-working stuff)
