We are working closely with the 'OpenChange' project, which is the only
project I've seen that appears to have a serious chance of handling the
'Exchange problem' for real.  They are building on Samba4 to handle the
exchange protocol, and are making good progress in understanding it.  I
wish them the best of luck.
