I agree that Ldoms would fit well as a project in a virtualization community. If we are ever going to pull together a "story" for Sun having a unified virtualization strategy its got to start in places like this. One problem is that I didn't see any real commitment of creating such a community and reorganizing the projects under it. Steven, is this going to happen and if so when?
