Apologies for the divergence of thread content.

After reading this paragraph I could not help but think back to some
opening remarks of the 2009 acamp meeting by rlbob .. something to the
effect of (my paraphrasing) "now that we have both of the predominant open
source sso technologies represented in the same room the burning question 
that CIOs want to know is when are these two projects just going to merge."

I know the remark was tongue and cheek at the time but the above paragraph 
just made me trip back to that acamp opening.. :-)
