You *are* being silly, because Babels design goal is not "handle crappy
wifi well" but "handle *all* potential network topologies a homenet might
encounter well, including crappy wifi". Which means it will totally work
well if you do *not* have a crappy wifi link around.

What is it that Babel does *not* do that ISIS does (and that is relevant
for a homenet scenario)? It perfectly well works on wired links.
It might not work on an ISP backbone, and it does not do L2 (TRILL), and
it does not do multi-topology, and it does not run over OSI protocol - but
which of that is relevant for the homenet scenario?
Nobody is doubting that ISIS is the more versatile protocol, has a more
active working group, many more RFCs to document it, and so on - but
what of this is *relevant* here?
