FWIW, I was never particularly fond of the text that talked about network
management and monitoring. I could probably personally live with a
broader statement only that said something like "where technically
feasible and can provide improved security in practical deployments".
YMMV.
Perhaps "management" is a misnomer for the fundamental concern, which is
the ability to operate the network. The text that discusses management
could be made more accurate by instead discussing operation, e.g.:
OLD:
More limited-scope monitoring to assist with network management that
is required in order to operate the network or an application is not
considered pervasive monitoring.
NEW:
More limited-scope monitoring that
is required in order to operate the network or an application is not
considered pervasive monitoring.
OLD:
Making networks unmanageable in order to mitigate
pervasive monitoring would not be an acceptable outcome.
NEW:
Making networks inoperable in order to mitigate
pervasive monitoring would not be an acceptable outcome.
(Realizing that now is not the time to wordsmith, but just offering
examples that might address the concerns raised earlier in the thread by
Eliot and others.)
