Francois, While I am agree that we need variable support, it's a bit complex to put together.
Basically you could have multiple clusters with different ESXi versions. Worse yet, within the same cluster you could have multiple ESXi versions (I know this is a bad design). Its much easier to set the default know applicable config that will work on range of hypervisors, vs chasing latest/gratest. If it's a global setting change, its probably something fairly simple to do. How do you see this being implemented?
