While home users can indeed pass the tests, particularly as they are now
they do not define them.  Generally we are at the level of a good medium
business network solution.  I'd like to see Level 2 move up into the
enterprise types of situations that you mention in the parts of the post
I don't quote here. Even then however we need to be careful to avoid any
focus on distro specific solutions that we would tend to run into in
this kind of environment.
