I think there's a natural tension here in that, for a lot of
folks, the motivation is to tinker with the old stuff, while
for others it's about setting up a communications mechanism.

I think there is a way in which both can be accommodated, by
selectively placing translation layers on what I refer to as
the "edge" of the network.  But yeah, it's a hobbyist thing,
so....
