Agreed.

I was largely agreeing with Robert about the state of BFD and how it likely 
impacts the OSPF feature.  BFD isn't helpful beyond the Up/Down signaling, how 
it handles too much noise, etc.  So, I think we're all in agreement about these 
things.

What the protocol chooses to do about the signaling BFD provides is up to the 
protocol. I think we're all agreeing that the strict mode helps with making 
sure implementations use the inputs to their state machines consistently.

Whether there's any sort of "pause button" used by the implementation once the 
ordering is agreed upon seems to be where the disagreements have been.  Such a 
pause button isn't appropriate for BFD.  

And now we're fully in sync. :-)
