Re: common criteria status?

Yeah you're probably right about money going to developer time
rather than certification, but being certified under the common
criteria can only help the project.  It doesn't seem very likely
though.

 it's
  very expensive, one article said several hundred thousand

 I don't know of any plans to throw wads of money at the
 certification
 process.  IMO, it would be better spent on developer time.
