Bob,
This topic has been discussed repeatedly over the years. IBM -- and
rightly, IMHO -- insists that you/we (the VM community) make a business case
for the time and effort it would take to integrate and then support the
"download distribution" version of Pipelines in CMS.
Given the severely limited resources of the VM Development lab and the
directives from further up the IBM food chain to spend those resources on
virtualization (i.e., Linux) and new device support, I suspect you'll be
hard-pressed to make a case that is sufficiently compelling to make this
happen during our (professional) lifetimes.
