At the moment Rational is actively working to support this across its 3 CM 
tools: Team Concert, ClearQuest and Change.  In addition to these, there 
is work to to consume the V2 services from a number of tools within IBM. 
Mylyn/Tasktop and Oracle said they are looking to provide support and will 
starting investigating some efforts once RTC public beta hits jazz.net 
(around mid-August).

Thanks this is very interesting feedback.  I have been seeing similar 
responses as well.
