Comment 6 for bug 1012788

I am wondering whether this bug should be closed as "Opinion".

I accept that the patch works and is stable, but I don't recall anyone else calling for it to be merged or asking for this functionality in Base (it is currently possible to ssh-tunnel CA connections to individual IOCs by setting EPICS_CA_NAME_SERVERS). We would require some additional work on documentation and self-test code before we could accept it for a Base release if a site does come forward and ask for it.
