The goal is to strive for consistency across vendor plugins/drivers and across service types (if possible/sensible). Some of this could/should apply to reference drivers as well. I'm thinking about these topics (based on questions I've had on VPNaaS - feel free to add to the list):

> Persistence of vendor specific information (e.g. should new tables be used or should/can existing reference tables be extended?).
> Provider selection for resources (e.g. should we allow --provider attribute on VPN IPSec policies to have vendor specific policies or should we rely on checks at connection creation for policy compatibility?)
> Handling of multiple device drivers per vendor (e.g. have service driver determine which device driver to send RPC requests, or have agent determine what driver requests should go to - say based on the router type)
