Oh yeah, forgot to add that this is for 2.0 only right now, though I am
considering back-porting it to the 1.6 tree if there's any interest.
We're
actually running 1.6 at my job still, though we're considering
upgrading
to
the 2.0 branch.
Anyone had a chance to look at this? Is there any interest in it at all?
I know we've had people ask on the list before for ESXi support, so just
curious and following up.
