+To make the recovery system (and tftpboot generally) more useful, it
+would be good to resize the root fs on boot. Need to do this before

+Before calling the Omnia "done" I'd like to get it to the point that
+I can actually use it as a CPE. This means
+
+- writing something down about how we handle static addresses
+  - hosts that need static ipv6 can configure it themselves as ::n
+    where n is a small number. this won't clash with slaac
+  - the `hosts` param to dnsmasq can specify static ipv4
+
+- dealing with port forwards and allowed incoming in the firewall
+
+- would be quite cool to run sniproxy instead of forwarding to
+  loaclhost (extra credit)
