For my 2c, for whatever it's worth, it's a combination of a specialized
user base and the fact that this kind of security used to only be in a
seperate product (eg: Trusted Oracle). Perhaps it will be in the
standard some day, I don't think it's unreasonable to think that.
Certainly it'd be nice if it was already there.
