Michel,

Thank you for the feedback.

To be clear, I dont [want to] have any of my own conclusions, only the 
curiosity of the likely ill-informed as to the thoughts of those 
involved in the problem space in this aspect.

Even as the tech appears shiny and usable, I am unclear on how it will 
actually eliminate the PI v. DFZ debate that crops up here and there now 
and again.

Track record of technology to date seems to show that pervasive or even 
widespread implementation can be a difficult goal without clear and 
present self-interest to each individual actor in a targeted population.

It really would be nice have our cake and eat it too and I was hoping 
that a navigable path to there can be shown to exist.
