Nobody ever said that any implementation of heterogeneous should be 
wrong or poor. This is misinterpretation.

I disagree with this point. This approach of yours will bring super huge 
confusion for the end user. Asking user to enter same values for 
different hardware specs will be huge mistake. User is required to enter 
the reality, it's up to us, how we will help him to make his life easier.

Because it is reality.

This might be just wrong wording, but 'assume homogenous hardware and 
treat it as such' is meant in a way - we deploy roles on nodes randomly, 
because we assume similar HW - as a *first* step. Right after that, we 
add functionality for user to define flavors.
