I absolutely agree that our management/deployment story must handle virtualized resources.  Perhaps if we added 'management' to the bullet?  And moved it down the list a bit...

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.
