This is a request/suggestion to make zigpy-cc support Zigbee 3.0 and/or Zigbee PRO network forming?
This directly relates to Zigbee 3.0 network supported requested in zigpy/zigpy#360 and zigpy/zigpy-znp#29 and zigpy/bellows#292
That is, make it possible for zigpy-cc with or without zigpy to form a Zigbee 3.0 network allowing newer devices to use a Zigbee 3.0 profile as an option instead of ZHA 1.2 profile in a Zigbee Home Automation 1.2 network if and when newer devices support Zigbee 3.0 profiles?
If I understand it correctly, some of not all newer Zigbee Stacks support Zigbee 3.0 (Z3.0) network forming which allow a Zigbee network formed which support multiple profiles at the same time, allowing Zigbee 3.0 devices to connect using a Zigbee 3.0 profile, Zigbee Light Link 1.x devices can connect using a ZLL 1.0 profile, and Zigbee Home Automation 1.2 devices can connect using a ZHA 1.2 profile, or?
I know that bellows radio library just very recently got support for the later EZSP API versions used Silicon Labs EmberZNet Zigbee Stack firmware that supports Zigbee 3.0 and the zigpy-znp radio library supports the newer Texas Instruments chips use Z-Stack 3.0 Zigbee Stack firmware which all do support Zigbee 3.0 standard.

"At the core of Zigbee 3.0 is the Zigbee PRO 2017 (R22). Note that previously Zigbee Pro 2015 (R21) was required for Zigbee 3.0, which has now been replaced with the newer Zigbee Pro 2017 (R22) specification. Older implementation based on the R21 specification are still compatible with the new R22 specification. The Zigbee PRO Specification adds child device management, improved security features, and new network topology options to Zigbee networks. Commissioning devices into networks has also been improved and made more consistent through Base Device Behavior (BDB). Zigbee 3.0 furthermore requires Green Power Basic Proxy v1.1.1 functionality in all devices to further support Green Power capabilities and compiles all profile clusters into a single specification, Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL) v7. Finally, it formalizes common Zigbee device application architecture nomenclature, expands on the Zigbee Lighting & Occupancy Device Specification, and comments towards Zigbee 3.0 certification. The following sections address each of these attributes."

PS: Previous versions of Silicon Labs firmware was also Zigbee PRO compatible, and the core of the Zigbee 3.0 standard is based on the Zigbee PRO 2015 specification, while the core of the Zigbee 3.1 standard will be based on the based on the Zigbee PRO 2017 specification.
