Thank you for digging that ticket up Thomas. I think that ticket mentions something maybe 
a bit overlooked in this thread so far, "Real world security". I recommend everyone 
following this thread to watch this video of a talk by Russ Doty from Red Hat at this 
years DevConf in Brno.  His talk is about real world security, especially in the context of 
enterprise computing, but the issues he articulate forms the underlaying challenges of this 
thread too.

I think if everyone here see this talk we could hopefully move this thread into a more 
constructive format.
