The problem is us.  This isn't a research network run and maintained by
the knowledgable.  This is a business.  We're selling a product, and if we
expect it to operate as advertised, it's up to us to educate those we sell
it to. 

The problem isn't us.  It's cicso, and Bay, and Ascend, and... everyone
who won't put an anti-forging filter on their border routers so we
_can_ turn it on.  The first time someone co-sues cisco, it'll get
fixed with 30 days.
