Let me clarify, proxmox (or the vsphere web ui for example), would be a fantastic management ui on top of the smartos engine that would bring some gravity to accrete userbase. Some organizations are just more comfortable with UI tools. Sure, your hairy-knuckled sa's and programmers will favor maintaining version controlled manifests for zones, and keeping things highly automated, using terraform, etc, but there's a huge base out there that will download smartos, stare at the console prompt, and lose interest unless they can treat it like a vsphere or proxmox machine, like they're used to, and are trained on. Project fifo...frankly, needs some good natured competition to breed better product in this space.

'accrete userbase'? Yeesh, where did that bit of geek-speak crawl out from under? Put it back.

Do you hear that whooshing sound? It's the point I was making that flew right by you.
