LCMAPS is not a critical technology in ARC. ARC offers many other (native) ways 
of implementing the features one can get from LCMAPS.

As a matter of fact, the only area where LCMAPS is not yet replaceable in ARC is 
     the ARC-ARGUS integration when jobs are submitted to ARC via the gridftp 
jobpluggin interface.  EMIES/SOAP jobs and the new REST jobs won't even have 
this dependency for the ARGUS integration.

to sum up: globus dependency via LCMAPS is not a showstopper for ARC at all.

cheers,
Balazs
