I don't think its fair or sensible to evaluate the outcome of a distribution scheme by the kind of message it allegedly sends, mostly because there is no mechanism within the scheme to satisfy the evaluation criteria. That is, the scheme has no way of deciding what is "responsible" or not, so it shouldn't be evaluated on that basis. It would be nice to raise-all-boats as the saying goes, but without the basic state of the network being secure (thanks to vendor default secure configurations), it's not going work. :Is the government willing to provide enough incentive to change the :market place? If RFP's alone can't do it what else could be tried? Security considerations have to be built into every process. The RFP process is a good start. Another would be the sales engagement processes, design considerations etc. It is an education issue. -- batz
