That was indeed a rather long (and insightful) thread on the topic. It sounds like there are still some healthy discussions worth having on the subject -- either exploring your [potentially superseding] proposal, or minimally rounding out the existing server group API to support "add existing VM" [1] and "remove VM" -- I think these would make it a lot more usable (I'm thinking of the poor cloud administrator that makes a mistake when they boot an instance and either forgets to put it in a group or puts it in the wrong group -- it's square 1 for them)?
Is this queued up as a discussion point for Paris? If so, count me in!
