I guess that pretty much says everything.

Normally I would ask for clarification on which idealistic dreams we
have which are not represented by the realities of the marketplace.

I'm thinking it was the arguement we made to a number of Open-Source
'experts' in the late 90's, also clearly rejected as without merit,
that an open-source solution which tightly integrated authentication,
authorization management and directory services needed to emerge if
there was to be any hope for a credible OSS presence in enterprise
middleware.

Please accept our best wishes to Secure Endpoints, MIT and the IETF in
your mutual quest for engineering driven innovation.
