DoNotAge LSAs, which are the only part of 1793 that this document
requires, are already a subset - do you mean a subset of DNA?

This breaks unpredictably and in a manner that's probably pretty hard to
debug when you set different routers differently.  The pillay-esnault
method falls back to standard behavior in such situations because it
will turn itself off when a router shows up in the area that doesn't
support DNA.
