I think so - as our glorious leader, Mike Milinkovich :), constantly
stresses in his presentation, there is a lot of code in any software
company that does not give a competitive advantage. To be more
competitive, organizations should just use open source for this
code, and concentrate on maintaining stuff that moves them on in the
marketplace. I think that such multifarious WSDL tool framework
falls into the category of 'not competitive'.
