At first blush, it looks like a terribly powerful package.  The obvious 
problem I see -- for me -- comes from the FAQ:  "the hard part is doing it 
the right way, balancing security, maintanence, and functionality".  A quick 
glance at the docs suggests that administering it intelligently is something 
that may be beyond me.  

But worth a shot, I guess.

Saudi Arabia is a pretty radical understatement. The
country, as most of us have learned by now, has a quarter of
the world's known oil reserves and three-quarters of the
world's known Sept. 11 hijackers.
