[802.3_NGEPON] Comment # 552 againse D2.21

[Duane Remein <dremein@xxxxxxxxx>]

I take issue with the proposed response to this comment:

NOTE-Persistently disabling all downstream channels in an ONU makes that 
ONU nonoperational and may require ONU replacement or a specific 
re-initialization via a local craft port. Persistently disabling all 
upstream channels in an ONU (but not all downstream channels) also makes 
that ONU non-operational. However, it may be possible to reinitialize 
such ONU remotely. Both the remote and the local re-initialization 
procedures are outside the scope of this standard.

I do not see how the following statement can be true "However, it may be 
possible to reinitialize such ONU remotely".  First off the persistent 
nature of the action requires reprovisioning, not simply a reset, remote 
or otherwise.  The standard clearly states that if the US channel is 
disabled the ONU should be de-registered and require a new Discovery.  
Once de-registered the ONU should only listen for Discovery windows per 
the draft.  How then can this statement be true? "  if the OLT and ONU 
are compliant with the standard? I would be OK with the following:

"NOTE-Persistently disabling all downstream or all upstream channels in 
an ONU makes that ONU nonoperational and may require ONU replacement or 
a specific re-initialization via a local craft port."
