Jay,
in this case you do sound like a broken record. Independently of what
people thought when we started this discussion a long time ago, I do not
think that anybody still firmly believes that a strong feature of our
current design is to stealth through firewalls. Too many people, myself
included, have already warned for such erreneous thinking.
