DNA Licensing and SmartNet - Catalyst 9000

So I just learned that support for some features that lies in the "Network Advantage" or "Network Essentials" perpetual license that comes with your switch when you purchase either a -A or -E SKU Catalyst 9000 switch lies within DNA

Say you pay for SmartNet on your newly acquired Catalyst 9300 switch and your 3 year mandatory DNA license has expired. You want support for OSPF not behaving as expected. You are now on your own... You now have to have both DNA licensing AND SmartNet to get support....

How does this make you feel?
