the question i have is: who really is the audience? my impression is
that the audience for security is something of a niche. so if you are
expecting Joe Ubuntu to beat a path to your door, that seems overly
hopeful. whereas if you are expecting something like the NSA to beat a
path to your door, well, that might have the possibility of success,
but also bring along its own issues :-).
