I have a friend at Linden who informs me that the press has way 
overblown the SL "gray goo" problem: Although the problem *was* real, LL 
has already fixed it via a combination of automatic and manual means. 
The automatic (as I understand it) involves dynamically rate-limiting 
object creation. The manual means includes monitoring / alert tools that 
let the sysops (or whatever they're called in SL) easily identify and 
kill off goo that still manages to exploit the system.

I'm not saying that an agoric solution wouldn't be better, just letting 
you know what LL actually did.
