I put that in there, because the experience at Oracle is that virtualization of 
resources is a big part of the grid story expected and experienced by our 
customers. My intention there was mostly to try to recapture a bit of mindshare 
for OGF.

That said, I agree that we have no business defining/spec'ing/implementing 
virtualization, but our deployment/management strategy must (I assert) include 
an understanding of managing virtualized resources.

Best,
