    when asked what was their single top criterion for the replacement for IP,
    without any prompting or discussion, they said (all of them) "security".

Very interesting. This is approximately  Dave Clark's thesis, which is (as
best I recall, sorry if I got it wrong) that if we don't have better security,
we don't need to plan for growth, since the growth is not going to happen.
