Hi All:

Per Daniel's willingness to look at making Vserver "hypervisor" capable
(thanks for that!)...

Can people weigh on interest? I'm not sure "what it would take" but if
we could get a number of us to kick in some funds that might help. Can
we get a count of those interested?

And would it make sense to settle on a "wish list" of what people want
or think is needed (e.g., I want vserver for Wheezy and so would want to
hypervisor enhancement to run on Wheezy as well)?

Ping back!

Do you
