I understand the need for it. It's much more difficult to install than it needs to be. There are way too many components required. Between extra STCs, changes to the SE, and a tremendous amount of security definitions, it's very intimidating. The GUI is very clunky and if the intent is for it to look like an install wizard in Windows, it is not. It was too confusing to me. Broadcom's Chorus is a better look and feel for such a tool. Having said that it's much more powerful. I accidentally set the WLM policy and I still don't understand what I did to activate it. I had to activate the current policy through the system console.
