Most but Steve likely already know this, but I can authoritatively say
that for the short term, there won't be any blocking of this nature.  In
a few years, maybe we'll be there, but change like that takes a while.
I expect we'll be dealing with Exchange 2015 or so before we have to
worry about that.  :-)
