We are still using VMware Server so I would vote "yes". (We also use Xen, VirtualBox, and KVM prioritized in that order.)

RE: proposed change to release Road Map
I like that idea. We are not doing anything with cluster reservations now, I'd much rather see VMWare Free Server 2.x sooner.

Re: proposed change to release Road Map
I think that sounds like a great idea, and I agree, having VMWare Free Server 2.x support sounds more beneficial.
