FWIW, one slight concern there has been regarding that, is that the easier it becomes to run sample applications or combinations, the easier it gets to stick to them, and end up seeing NOX as a set of control applications instead of as a framework for writing them. It makes it more tempting to focus on a tree and miss the forest, per se, which could be bad especially since some sample components aren't flawless or are too specific ways of achieving something (see 'routing').
