The idea of evaluating the appservers and publishing the results to the public
seems to be good. It is appreciated.
But that doesnt mean that the evaluators can publish without consulting the
vendors nor they can publish all those that are restricted by the vendors. It
would have been easier if the evaluators had contacted the vendors before
publishing to confirm whether they used the right version of the vendors
product in their evalutaion.
