They're the same people who want to run emacs on 10,000 cluster nodes.
They're our customers, sadly, and they still do things like run
editors written in Fortran.

Greg, we need to get into a different business where people are more
open to change.

Henry Ford put it best, I paraphrase: "Had I listened to my customers
I would have made better buggy whips".

Well, I am re-looking at beoboot. Beoboot did a really good job for
what we needed and scaled very well indeed.

I'm actually moving on a bit. We're looking at what it takes to boot
10M kernels and it's pretty clear to me that nothing we've done to
date is really up to snuff.

Thanks
