> 1. You have a computer with many independently running images.
> 2. A super fast facility pass messages between the images,
> 3. Selected services in the release image are move out and deployed as server
> objects in another image.
> 4. Every image appears as a server offering RESTful interfaces to other
> images.
> 5. Selected packages in any repository can be downloaded, compiled,
> instantiated, and deployed in an image as server objects.
> 6. The different images can even run in different computers and use different
> VMs.
> 7.  
> 8. There are now two dimensions to the reuse of functionality: a) download and
> compile a package. b In some image, install a package and deploy it as a
> server object.
> 9. And presto: The original image is now small and manageable while the whole
> system can grow without increasing the complexity of the release image.
>  In haste. This is just an idea. It's full of holes and need a lot of work
> done to it before it can be usable.. It's a disruptive idea, so please give it
