For what it's worth, I neither see the need for this, nor am I
in favour of it.  In my (admittedly cynical) view, there is a
perfectly good exterior protocol to do this, namely, telnet :-)

I do see the need for symmetrical bi-directional LSPs (mostly for
optical and SONET trails) and (reluctantly at first) accepted the
need to extend RSVP for that.
