Our aim is on educational/scientific/engineering product. So the first
two cases is what I'd insist on (even it has some overlap with WS).

For fifth use case you're right but I was overvoted in WG.

It should not, could you give us guidance how we can make sure the
first two uses cases are the most important?

Any hints to make it more clear welcomed.

One important part we're now working on are Plasma Activities for
different use case - it should be similar to Server Roles and it 
would help that differentiation within the product much more visible
but not in PRD. I hope we would be able to present this soon to
the broader community. I really like this idea and it's really that
point you're asking. I hope you'll like it :).
