Do we have an idea how the use is split? I would guess most users will
use olsr in a stationary and small to mid-sized mesh. If we can have
the defaults or a default config file handle that, then 80-90% of
people can just use olsr. Most users do not really want to get into
understanding and tweaking everything in the config, they just want
to use it and it should work reasonably well by default.

Here there are some people that want to move to batman and the reason
is that you do not have to tweak the config to get it working. :-/
