Agreed. That is why both are mentioned.

That I would like to avoid. The architecture document should describe
the direction the WG has chosen to go in. I don't think we should
document the pros/cons of various approaches (that is more what the
framework does).

Also, in the specific case above, I'm not sure listing pros/cons of
the two approaches helps. I don't expect folk to pick one or the other
based on the pros/cons. One of the starting premises is that there are
already existing orchestration systems that provide the functionality
of the NVA, and existing deployments use them. I don't expect
implementations already using such a facility to change. I do think we
will need to coexist with such approaches, hence they need to be  part
of the architecture.

Does that make sense?
