7 | What do you think of creating a new 'virtualization' project or herd/team?

9 Sounds like a good idea, there seem to be enough packages to warrant it.
10 ~ Especially if you're finding shared packages and space for integration
11 of components.

13 | So, what do you think?

15 As one of the primary vmware devs, I'm not sure that vmware easily fits
16 into this group based on it's closed-source nature, and the complex (but
17 just about workable) module system we've put in place. I also wouldn't
18 want to muddy the virtualization email address with all the random
19 vmware module bugs... 5:)

21 I'm pretty happy for the vmware group to go under the virtualization
22 herd, but I'd very much like to maintain the vmware email
23 alias/assignment for bugs, and I'm not sure how much we'd be able to
24 integrate with the larger group. Do you think it's worthwhile vmware
25 joining the umbrella or should we just stay separate?
