I think David Quigley's comments from earlier today summarize the situation better than I did:
"For our purposes in DoD we need the MAC Framework and the row based access controls. But if a good starting point is to just do the access control over the database objects, then it will be useful for some commercial cases and some limited military cases"
So it's not without value even in its current "Lite" form. But there's clearly a whole lot more use-cases that would benefit from a version with row filtering.
