Well, I think the core questions is how much recoding effort would be
required to port an application from say Mico to OmniORB?  How similar are
these beasts?  If all that's necessary is to recompile some IDL, then I
say let's try to get cracking with Mico and when efforts to develop a
faster ORB succeed, we'll use that instead; if we're not stuck with it,
who cares?

Of course, if we ARE stuck with the ORB chosen...  ACK!  How messy.
