So thinking about it again, we don't expect the new svn2621 NM bits to
work with any existing mesh networks because the server software and
hardware needs to change.

We have to have a flag day in Cambridge too before we can get the new NM
automeshing bits, because the new bits aren't compatible with the old
bits on the server side.
