Just a thought on this matter:

Couldn't we find a way to use virtualization to provide "on-demand" 
service for this kind of thing?

Ie., find a way to boot the virtual machine as needed to provide the 
function, then shut it down upon completion.

Doing such things "on-demand" rather than "available 24/7, needed or 
not" would, I suspect, save fedora/redhat/other sponsors, alot of money.

I'm not even sure such things are possible (though they should be in 
this age), so feel free to tell me so.
