Deployers of OS are typically in irc/ml/forums pasting stack traces, working through problems with dev help.  Once we start seeing more public deployments, reference architectures, etc, then maybe?

I tend to agree with John's points, I don't want the presumably easiest ml to consume to be neglected by some of the brightest minds in the project.
