:The second this is in the release notes, it is stated that, "... for our
:ultimate goal of creating a clusterable OS.".

:In this context, is 'clusterable' the same as 'distributed' OS?  I read
:them differently, i.e., clusterable doesn't exactly imply a single
:system image.  Forgive me if there has been a refining of goals, but I

    The goal is SSI, or at least SSI from the point of view of userland.
    The kernel images would not necessarily have to be exactly the same
    but I won't know what all the issues are going to be until I actually
    get far enough along in the process migration and cache coherency
    protocols for them to become more apparent.
