	Again I will ask: why is this bad?  Obviously the implementation will have to 
evolve to the new models, but is this relatively static model where we really want to 
get to simply because some device vendors/server vendors find it a pain to iterate
models to support the latest versions?  Again, others have figured out how to do this
much more rapidly.  In the past we have seen what happens to things that cannot evolve
fast enough...
