That's true, but those folks (or, more accurately, their bosses) have their shorts in a knot over the recent attacks. I don't have a lot of sympathy for the corporations which have a long history of half-baked implementations, but our best bet is to help them figure it out.

But there is no other. I can't really blame them for eventually going live, I just wish they tried harder to work and play well with others.
