The idea is to avoid mis-configured nodes from even joining the network and then not behaving as one would expect regardless off their actual hardware specifications.
There are a series off PRs in the works to rely on connection information than identify, including 180 second dial backs, and eventually automatically reach a conclusion on the type of node/network topology you are on so flags such as --no-upnp, --relay, --ip etc would not be required.
The process would be super streamlined including auto-detecting which network adapter is transmitting and receiving traffic for antnodes running within the OS as well etc.
All of the above needs to be rolled out in phases with majority off the code base for node operators to be on the latest versions to have maximum impact towards a healthier network.
