[Fwd: Re: axyftp [LSARC/2008/271 Self Review]]

[Mark A. Carlson]

Gary,

I know there is an outstanding issue with the value of including all this
FOSS stuff with minimal resources to adapt to our environment. But this 
case
doesn't seem to be any more egregious than others. Fighting the business
decision, one ARC case at a time, seems futile also. I would like to help
folks that are willing to fill out the checklist, do the right thing here,
within the bounds of the resources they have.
