I certainly hope so. Otherwise things have really hit the fan. So I 
would suggest we do so anyways, even as we assume that time proves it to

What is wrong with an approach of "All of the above"?

Anyways, strong odds suggest that removing restrictions on reserved 
space is a much simpler code change than including another network 
stack, in any OS and in any firmware.
