Plus education. Robin has stated that there _are_ suitable CA products for this 
use case in existence today, but if I didn't know it stands to reason that at 
least some of the engineers at Cisco didn't know either.

Knowing what the Right Thing is makes it easier to push back when somebody 
proposes (as they clearly did here) the Wrong Thing. If, at the end of the day, 
Cisco management signs off on the additional risk from doing the Wrong Thing 
because it's cheaper, or faster, or whatever, that's on them. But if nobody in 
their engineering teams is even aware of the alternative it becomes a certainty.
