 The way I understand it, it *IS* the true intent.  IBM is currently in "BP
pruning" mode.  This seems to go in a 3-5 year cycle.  The problem now is
that the bigger BPs will only get bigger, by alliances w/ the little guys
or by default when the little guys drop out of the race.

 The IBM BP program has long been difficult to deal with.
