I imagine Nick is talking about:

* the fact that the majority of queueing systems cannot 'queue' by anything
  other than order of entry into queue

* the fact that the majority of MTAs do not handle user-triggered delivery
  well

* the fact that the majority of MTAs are still badly programmed with reference
  to standards /and/ the 'real world' (tm)
