Possibly because many people find writing formal security policies,
which I think is what we're really talking about here, to be a dry
and unpleasant experience, much less fun that code-hacking or packet-
analyzing or whatever else you can find to do instead.

Would it help if I volunteered to talk to folks and help write
something up? I mean, if there's some other issue that is preventing
ISC from nailing this down, then that's one thing. But if it's just
a case of "never seems to bubble up to the top of the stack", then
maybe a little outside assistance can do the trick.
Besides, now that the semester's over, I need something besides just
firing off resumes (gotta fill that summer time, and not completely
lose touch with the Real World!) to keep myself entertained.
You may flame when ready, Gridley.
