It sounds promising. However, I wonder whether you (chief developers) will have enough courage to make it in the Right Way from the ground up, throwing away the accumulated since 70-s Unix garbage like /etc mess and providing a clean light-weight configuration API with bindings to all reasonable scripting languages starting with /bin/sh. Or, I'm afraid, it'll become another attempt of cosmetic (de-facto, not in the terms of manpower spent) tidying-up.
