Let me ask if this is different for RADIUS?  I can't imagine all of the
enhancements to RADIUS you've mentioned -- those that mitigate the need
to migrate to Diameter -- are included in those 5-year old versions of
system FW?

Why is it more attractive to add new features to, and ship new versions
of, RADIUS client and server software, than it is to ship a Diameter
implementation?

I'm not attempting to argue any point of view here -- just trying to
understand the market dynamics.
