[Nfd-dev] [EXT]Re: Try NDNCERT (based on Interest-Data exchange) and get an NDN certificate today

Hi Zhiyi

Before that, can you get the forwarding hint feature done? That's the last
blocking issue making it unusable on the current testbed.
I don't want another round of "refactoring" and then we'll have to wait
another year.

Yours, Junxiao
