At first I thought this was just reinventing the wheel, but now I realize what they're really doing: taking what was formally an incompatible, proprietary set of enterprise solutions and turning it into a set of standards that can sit on top of any platform. The big win is actually cross-platform compatibility for user, system & network management protocols. I don't think the goals they want to achieve matter to users, and are antithetical to corporate interests. But it'll be neat to have these protocols work with so many existing systems. This is going to be a fucking security nightmare, though.
