 Yes, this is documented in the recommendations. The question is just to
 chose beteween (1) evoke the API from user space (init script) or (2)
 change the default value (in the firmware or driver). Would you advise on
 that?

 I don see it as an adaptive measure. It should be implemented irrespective
 of external conditions. So, I don't think it belongs to the Mesh
 Adaptation Daemon.
