Life is not so neat
not a thought experiment here, but rather a summary of real
life, in practice issues hit in working toward a generally
applicable, FOSS based solution
The testing grid, to make it interesting is to be able to
gobble in and use [examples still in production for ome
reason or another]:
RHL 5.2
RHL 7.2
Windows 95
Windows NT 3.51
Windows 2000
Windows XP
--- all above this line are legacy and out of support -- we
know this, but our customers are indifferent to such, so long
as it does not 'see' the internet at large --
RHEL / CentOS 5 (Xen hooks)
RHEL / CentOS 6 (KVM hooks, with grub)
RHEL / CentOS 6 (KVM hooks, with grub2)
assorted Fedora
assorted (but largely recent) Ubuntu
Assorted Debian Testing and Stable
OpenBSD -- various
NetBSD -- various
We have automation for parts, but not all of that grid
