 Recently, we have run into problems with corner cases of our machine
 matching algorithm. LNST (at the moment) cannot handle recipes with:

 * a single machine
 * two (or more) machines not connected to each

 Generally, there is a problem with machines that don't have any
 connections to any other machines within the recipe. Do we want to support
 this type of configuration? In many cases, this will be an accidental
 misconfiguration, although there might be some cases in which this could
 be useful.

 Maybe we could support this, but print a warning every time this is
 detected during the matching phase?

 Hi Radek, could you be more specific here? In which cases this can be
 useful?

 What I had in mind was a scenario on a single machine where packets would
 be sent between two bridged devices. But you're right, it is probably more
 confusing than useful ...

 Disallowing machines not connected to anything will be quite easy to
 implement, so this might be a way to go as well. We can always change it
 later when somebody comes up with a proper use case.
