Are you saying that you think that Apache CloudStack can provide Debian-based systemVMs as part of a release (or in any other manner)? If so, I am missing something. And I would love for this to not be the case, I just don't see how we can ship a big blob of GPL software given the guidelines that we are expected to follow. The only conversation I see on it from the proposal period is [1], am I missing a thread somewhere? --David [1] http://s.apache.org/v3
