I think the problem here is that some people think that anything that's
not convenient to their preferrred solution can be tossed or ignored.
And maybe it can be. But everything that breaks the status quo is a
thing that complicates implementation and requires people be convinced
to accept it. The more complicated the changes, the harder to implement
and the longer it'll take. The more people you have to convince, the
longer it'll take. Lose enough of the population that refuses to buy
in, and it fails.
I just keep getting convinced that people keep building solutions that
don't really have much experience outside their own server systems,
haven't spent much time dealing with international environments, or
generally just don't have a good clue what the global infrastructure
is, just the local. And that's fatal to a plan that has to work
globally to work.
(I don't pretend to be expert in these areas, either, but it seems I
spend a lot more time dealing with people in global environments that
many of the folks here... and that worries me)
