Guys,

the technically sound option for going forward is to teach the init
replacement du jour, a service monitoring subsystem, and a cluster
communication subsystem talk to each other, and arrive at a
half-properly designed cluster operating system.

GUI manglement crap is the eye candy that people dishing out funds
understand. For people actually running clusters, they'll use it once to
configure the cluster, and then (ideally) not touch any of it for years
to come. So in terms of cost/benefit to the actual admins, a clean set
of logically organized readable config files that can be simply copied
to the new node is worth 50 GUIs -- restful, xmlless,
buzzword-du-jour-compliant, and
django-asynchronous-json-script-framework-template driven.

Bickering over whether one of those things is better than another is bad
for your nerves and that's all it is. Actually believing it is bad for
your karma: you'll get reborn as a cockroach or worse: a copyright lawyer.

IMO
