Hi David,

One point I wanted to clarify: the iOS and macOS betas support for CAPPORT 
discovery and APIs still goes through the standard and existing UI flow for 
captive portals. The times in which the captive portal UI is shown is limited, 
for example to times when the user is in WiFi settings. Thus, while adoption 
should indeed be easy and only require adding a small bit of infrastructure in 
order to provide a flow that doesn’t require redirects, the set of 
circumstances in which a network can display content to the user is not 
increased.

Thanks,
Tommy
