I would imagine he does, and was saying that migration to the new orb
from using mico stubs would be easy. Using Mico isn't an ideal solution
for C++ programmers since it generates stubs and servants based on
DII/DSI, which is very slow in comparison to static stubs.

Mico should really be viewed as a reference implementation - it provides
the features we need for C++ corba objects, but is not really fast or
lean enough to be a long term solution.

Cheers,

Phil.
