Perhaps it's the magnitude of the realities, and that of some other developing
issues to which this one pales by comparison, that folks strain to mitigate
the situation, for themselves and others.

By the looks of the article that Erick A. ref'd, it's business as usual in the
OEM world with a narrow but valuable protection for third party access. In
addition, words like "most" "continue to" "working hard" "workaround"
"commited to providing a solution" add jesture but not substance to a more
vigorous response to developer or IS needs, not to mention responding to
concerns from the industry at large.

I ran across another bit of gossip, Networth says:

www.prestongates.com is running Apache/1.0.3
