I'd love to see VMs for CAS.  I'd _really_ like to see them done using Turnkey 
Linux instead of some home brew, as the maintenance and extensibility would be 
vastly improved.

Turnkey's TKLPatch and init scripting framework let you do some really great 
stuff.  I could easily see a testing-oriented OVF, where you create a fresh 
appliance, answer some questions on first boot, and get a working quickstart.  
That would be a great first step.

I also think turnkey has enough hooks to allow for production-oriented 
appliances.  I know that some people on this list will have crazy 
configurations and even crazier security requirements, and these probably 
wouldn't work for you.  However, a couple basic flavors of VMs, with init 
scripts to walk you through (or automate) deployment would be totally rad, and 
probably cover a decent number of production scenarios.  That could really make 
CAS configuration and deployment even more accessible for non-Java shops.

I'd be happy to start a wiki page if others want to discuss the possibilities.
