I belive that the DoD centralized model, in a world more and more distributed is just,... a different approach,... and noboby should worry too much about it,... DoD have to evolve because a central repository for everything drivers just would not stick.

Thought, the greatest value of project Utopia, is that it discuss matters that *ARE ACTUALY THE MOST IMPORTANT* in the Open Source area today, inspite the corporate world dont give it the attention it should receive, because it is the heart of "world wide" IT domination.

Perhaps is just me,... but i sense a certain fear from the corporate lidership of Open Source of a certain corporation that dominates the IT paradigma and that is knowned to retaliet against thier own business partners, no matter who, if someone threatens their dominium... and almost everybody *have* to make business with the monopoly...

So project Utopia is IMO the most important one in Open Source on the last years,... because with SMT(hyperthreading)+ CMS(multicore) processors and with NUMA support craved in the chipsets, like the Opteron ones, it seems reasonabily that scalability is heading troward the more and more integration of functionality like VoIP, IM and P2P networks and not the number of physical processores supported.
