Yah. Seems a bit involved for something you think would be part of the 
basic package. Especially when the APs will all be installed at the 
customer's premises; we don't want to have to do a truck roll to move 
each one into our cloud controller, but with many of them it would be 
required because there's no way (currently) to VPN into their network.
