[DisasterRadio] GPS Maps, Chat, Mesh - thats AX.25 & APRS, no?

I just had the thought, and then the thought to see what you folks would think of it.. The title sort of says it all. I had been thinking of LoRa mesh gizmos and fiddling with designing a mesh transport layer. Ive come as far as two nodes essentially swapping simple json. But I kept thinking about an APRS node I made w a baofeng and an RPi3. And how all of this was basically another way of doing what the APRS net and AX.25 already do in the amateur radio slice of things. So what? So why not just stuff ax.25 and aprs 'digipeating' over LoRa? It literally meets every 2-way and mesh-way transport requirement. Message relay and broadcast, 'callsign'/node id destination addresses, etc etc. A route for this might be micropython and https://github.com/sjlongland/aioax25/ Anywho, whats anyone's thoughts on this? Completely nuts / totally hopeless / maybe possibly interesting?
