heh .. didn't mean to derail discussion. I think what would make
sense would be to move the web services from runtime mode to a set of
primitives. Does it make sense to also rework the message for what
DayTrader is all about?

ahh... come on matt... this is good discussion... we finally have
people thinking (and talking) about where we should or shouldn't
take DayTrader in the future. there hasn't been enough of that!
i think short term, the disclaimers serve the purpose. however,
long term... daytrader will lose it's relevance if it isn't updated
to reflect how people are using the technology.

So to cl;arify I think DayTrader may be mis-characterized as only a
benchmark. I think it is used for a variety of functions of which
only one aspect is performance. the other aspects are testing
infrastructure, sample application (which includes deployments
plans for various pieces of functionality, etc.).
With that in mind perhaps we should change it from performance
benchmark to something else. I'm concerned about pulling this at
the very end. I agree that we don't want to put out a sample that
can be used inappropriately but in the end we don't really tell
anyone what they can do with the software. I'm concerned about
making changes to DayTrader because of commercial positioning. For
this reason I'd rather add the comment about relevance of the
runtime mode. I think simply adding the comment is adequate.
If we're going for best practices I don't think anyone would say
the app as it is written today is a best practice but more of a
swiss army knife of tools.
It sounds like there are varying viewpoints so perhaps we let the
discussion percolate and put it to a vote.

ah.... now you're pointing out the distinctions between primitives
and a real application "workload". currently, the web services
within daytrader are presented in the context of a "workload" not
a primitive.
