The only thing I ask is (even though it's taken forever) we are eventually planning on making it so that we'll have MST helpers that can suggest changing the PBN divisor in order to implement link fallback retraining. As long as we're still able to make that work in the future, I'm totally fine with this. > > > Thank you for doing this!
