Hi Kevin: So first a disclaimer - I speak only for myself. That out of the way, there are no plans to ditch VMware support. It will likely become a bit more onerous to install. (CloudStack uses the VMware SDK which is not available under an Apache-friendly license (but is gratis), and as we come into line with the licensing policies of the ASF I imagine this SDK will disappear and the end-user will have to install this on their own) But if you check out http://wiki.cloudstack.org you'll see a number of folks working on a number of VMware-specific enhancements like Distributed vSwitch. --David
