Another option to look into for configuration management:
Has anyone looked at puppet? http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet/
I haven't looked at Puppet in depth, but one con is that it's written in Ruby (not that there's anything wrong with that). But there may be license issues with bcfg2 so that may be an option as well.
skvidal was able to articulate a good reason to not use ruby for the config stack: Anytime we add an interpreted language to the dependencies we need to get a system up and running we're adding another language stack we need to confirm works with our setup before performing an upgrade.
That aside, I think the stateless people have been using puppet and generally like it.
