It would be truly regrettable if anyone took offense at my attempt to
explain the approach, and I hope that is not the case.  I did not
intend to suggest or infer anything in particular about current or
past efforts.  My only focus is how best to move forward together.

No, it was just a draft in my personal space.  I've moved it over
here: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/CAS/CAS+Roadmap.  Everyone should
be able to edit it now.
