Measurement IDs are not scarce and I am sure Gert can write his scripts in a way that does not require him to keep track of IDs manually. ;-)
Sure I could. But I don't *want* that....
We disagree.
I'm not sure we can disagree on what *I* *want*. :-)
I am sure the Atlas developers can implement anything that can be done with an algorithm that runs on the platforms they have at their disposal. My point is specifically that not anything and everything should be done in any specific system. In the early Unix days we called this "creeping featurism". Good design and style avoids this. Someone else said it much better than I can possibly do:
Nice quote, and I agree with the underlying idea. OTOH, if you want to build a *successful* platform, it certainly helps to make it nice-to-use to those that are trying to *use* it. I can't find any intuitive reasons why I would find it useful to have to add new UDMs all the time when all I want is "restart a given UDM" or "add more probes to a given UDM, but keep the rest of the parameters the same", etc. But anyway. My wishes have been stated a few times now, do what you want with it. Gert Doering -- NetMaster -- have you enabled IPv6 on something today...? SpaceNet AG Vorstand: Sebastian v.
