I don't disagree with that assessment, but another habit of "us geeks" is
to not consider the political side of creating/installing a new system.
In that sense, the post was correct. I also think that the technical
problems pale in comparison to the political and financial ones in this
particular application.
Of course, I won't be at any SFR events in the foreseeable future (insert
cheering from other folks in SFR :-) as my business travel is slowing way
down, so its not like I'm really affected either way.
