To define "a lot" a bit clearer, I'd say, yes, it's nearly a full time job for one person to constantly keep auch an installer framework playing nice with every new release and even keep supporting the LTS releases. I don't think it needs more than that one person(assuming the person knows FAI well), and in a full time job, this person would have enough time to get some new features added Ubuntu users might be interested in like a GUI and a wizard to get initial setup of a FAI Server done easier. As for "enterprise grade" and "rock solid" - I think FAI is both, but it depends on the definition :) > Canonical has currently no plans to support FAI > in ubuntu for various reason. So this remains a community effort. As for you, my time is also limited, and I don't use Ubuntu on servers. Still, I can at least help with the conceptual side. It would still require some more people really interested and testing this stuff in their production environments. > > For the scope of this bugreport, I'm rejecting this bug, because the > request cannot be fulfilled at this time.

For the time being, the link to "see the url for this specification" on the page https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/automated-installation gets me to a "forbidden" error message...
