If any proposed fee simply covers HP's costs for admin and mgmt, what value
is there in having a fee at all?  No fee and no admin/mgmt is fine.  If there
is to be a fee it needs to actually pay for something of value.  To me this
just sounds like another way to milk more $ out of the HP-3000 user base
without supplying anybody with anything new.
