It does for circuits that have valid link-state (i.e. not ethernet).
For example, we've had a T1 customer move to a new location, which
requires ordering a new local loop.  We copy the provisioning from the
old loop to the new loop, and when the customer moves, they unplug their
CPE from the old loop, drive to the new location, and plug into the new
loop, and it just works.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
