That was indeed a rather long (and insightful) thread on the topic.
It sounds like there are still some healthy discussions worth having
on the subject -- either exploring your [potentially superseding]
proposal, or minimally rounding out the existing server group API to
support "add existing VM" [1] and "remove VM" -- I think these would
make it a lot more usable (I'm thinking of the poor cloud
administrator that makes a mistake when they boot an instance and
either forgets to put it in a group or puts it in the wrong group --
it's square 1 for them)?

Is this queued up as a discussion point for Paris?  If so, count me in!

Thanks,
Joe
