Yes.. this was discussed several times in the past. Part of it was
that a lot of enterprise people use dag's as it was there first and it

ways to try and say 'look' we are looking to work with others by using
what is 'best' for enterprise environments. Third.. this started at a
time when enrico was not going to push past 0.87 for some technical
reasons and DAG had 0.91 or so that people were needing for audits and
such.
