Hi all,

we would also like to see both of the features mentioned by Tim getting a clear 
path into Pike. We are daily struggling with the same problems CERN has (albeit 
at a much smaller scale), and getting these two things would greatly simplify 
our day-to-day life and ability to use OpenStack to do compute-on-demand.

Cheers,
Dario Vianello
