they're felt now. It's not that they need to be felt by customers, it's 
that an alternative has to be demonstrated to them to exist which is only 
available if they pay for it, and which they are willing to pay for. Their 
sense now tends to be that high quality QoS and security should be part of 
the package at the price they are paying now, and the lack is a bug which 
the vendor should fix.
