While I'm not looking to duplicate Beaker's ability to do hardware provisioning, I do suspect that there is going to be a little duplication of functionality here. If we ever want get really detailed (to the point of saying "give me a machine with Fedora 21 Alpha TC3"), it's a bit silly to duplicate all that work between the two systems. That being said, I think it will depend on how specific we want to get and what additional complexity/overhead would be required for delegation to beaker vs. doing it in Taskotron. I'm not dismissing the idea, it's just one of those "cross that bridge if/when we get there" kind of things. We've got enough work to do without reinventing wheels that we don't have to :) Tim
