From my prospective, the topic of SS_Config usage isn't so much what we
consider 'reasonable' to expect from application and utility software
vendors.  It's more of an issue of implementing a safety net for the
exceptions.  Even if there ends up being no exceptions, there was no harm in
having the assurance.  I think, while "virtual CSY" still exists there
should be an effort to create a policy by which trusted entities can use
SS_Config (and/or a tool similar to it) beyond 2006 under a 'reasonable' and
well defined set of circumstances.  We then tuck that away and maybe it
never gets used.

Thanx,
