Well, we have a generic threat analysis accepted as a WG draft. I think
(as Iljitsch said when discussing the agenda of the interim meeting)
that we will need to refine the threat analysis once we have a clear
sense of the recommended direction for the solution. Personally,
I think we should suspend the philosophical debate until then, and
concentrate on reaching a concrete outline of the wedge/3.5 model.
