What I have referred to in our meetings as the Thaler Doctrine (TM), is that if we end up with a phased approach in homenet, the demarcation would be exactly along these lines. e.g., Phase 1 would do the best we can while requiring zero changes to hosts, while Phase 2 does some things even better than Phase 1, but requires host changes to support.
