I knew I should have explained. :) What I fear is volatility, with an undocumented proprietary protocol. And suppose Cisco abandons it for something completely different - when would it be aged out? My instinct is to wish for more modularity, although I have to say that libalias is not all that big today. None of this carries much weight.
