That's patently false, I fear. What chinna is referring to is the interaction
(well defined) of Radius Authentication, Authorization and accounting
(generally referred to as AAA) and PPP (and I expect you knew all that).
That the AAA group is back to the drawing board is not the issue. The
"customers who are so fond of their AAA infrastructure" obviously refers to
the radius infrastructure. While chinna could have been more precise, I
always equate them in my mind as well.
I can tell you from personal experience that people want to shoehorn
EVERYTHING into radius. They'll want this here as well (I've already gotten
multiple requests about this). I guarantee it'll happen (or your money back).
