-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Brian,
I haven't finished reading through all of the details in the document you created in the wiki, but it seems to be a design document for a new/different cloud system. I didn't see anything explaining how it relates to VCL in its current form or a roadmap providing a migration path from the current form to what you've designed. That aside, can you explain further why you are proposing this? I think I'm seeing a bit of a cart before the horse issue here where you've designed out something new before there's been any discussion on this list about whether or not large parts of VCL should be redesigned. After explaining your reasoning further, I think it would be a good idea for us (the community) to have a discussion on this list about any areas of VCL that are needing to be redesigned.
