Telling someone "You weren't hired"

I was 'not hired' recently and the hiring manager I think did a great job. He scheduled a meeting on the phone with me, and told me that they had hired someone else for the position, but that he wanted to let me know I was exactly the type of person he wanted in his organization, but I needed some more experience. He offered to let me ghost or help out experienced engineers so that the next time I applied I would have the whole package.

It was an internal application, I have been with the company for 10 years. But in the last two years I have decided to cross over from Network Engineer to Unix Engineer.

I thought it was very classy, and have taken him up on his offer. I have been working on my own time with the Unix, Linux, and Windows guys to get as much experience as I can.
