I knew about the protocol refusal. I had no idea Ciscos fell over on deployment however. That's hilarious, they should pay the OpenBSD devs for fixing their firewalls. Would no work get done if members of supposedly independent bodies had to have independent employees. It reminds me a little of Apple having a member on the html5 standards team that vetoed Googles member (the other apparently) as Apple wanted mp4 rather than having ogg as the specified standard. p.s. All the phones in use on the web and their accel chips would have been replaced by now anyway.
