Yeah, I think giving users the ability to have a single deployable binary (rather than having to do lots of sys admin work) will be favourable. My only concern is it will take away the need for users to learn about this kinda stuff, but I dunno...

Haven't seen it. 50 odd minutes long: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10100259101684977 It's *well* worth watching though..
