Quite frankly, I recall when this was originally discussed, and I really didn't understand the use case for it -- if it makes sense to use it for SlugOS, I'd be happy to do so. On a somewhat tangential note, I am responsible for a *distro*, but I'm not sure that I'm responsible for any *machines* -- so perhaps this is not my decision to make WRT to SlugOS? Am I missing something? -Mike (mwester)
