I'm having a hard time swallowing this one. In the list of optional
extensions for ISC 2.2 is the Security Extension, which "contains files
needed to raise .... [ 2.2 ] .... to C2". (As an aside, what a BRILLIANT
idea to make this and *Optional* Extension. Viva, ISC, Viva). But
according to Aris' statement, this is not correct, so ISC just wasted N
(where N is a large number) man hours porting this extension.
My faith in ISC is such that I cannot believe that they would do that.
Aris, can you back up your claims with some quotes from a definitive
reference, such as the orange book?
