Why? 3.8beta does not have any new features applicable to the PM2. I
understand there is a 3.8 for OR will NAT, and that is in closed beta.

Who wants this? Seems a step backwards actually, as opposed to
PMVision, and you still need to get IP up first in order to use an HTTP
interface. I know someone who sent an OR-U back to get a 3COM router with
an HTTP interface, then didn't use it once because they couldn't get it
configured to get the HTTP interface online!

Yes, but lets not turn the OR into a Ascend P50/75 where the thing has
so many obscure features, that it is nightmare to configure. I can put
all the commands to get a OR connected on a half-sheet of paper, but I was
stunned when a user showed me over a dozen config screens for a P50 and
asked me what to put in each item!
