…excellent job at presenting the main concepts in ruote, process definitions, participants, workflow vs state management and so on. I'm lucky to have people evangelizing ruote as I'm a too much a "you don't understand workflow ? You certainly don't need ruote" type.

This comes up in games like Plants vs Zombies , or Doodle Jump , where the first two minutes of each are nearly no challenge at all.
I'd like to pass a certain checkpoint (something fairly hard) and never have to play the easy stuff again. You'd just start right at the hard part. Multiple checkpoints at increasing difficulty might be even better.

…important is increasing capacity for MLC devices, for example, if we take 10,000 writes vs 100,000 writes than to provide the same life time MLC would need about 10x more capacity, and
it seems not problem. I expect soon we will see MLC cards with 1600GB, which ideally will have the same lifetime as SLC 160GB cards.
On this way interesting to see Intel announces enterprise line for SSD card will be based on
eMLC ( enterprise MLC ), where each cell has 30,000 writes …

b. iscsi boot - Its a rather "flakey" feature. I put some time on this
there are two problems
1) Only a select number of iscsi HBA are supported.
2) It consumes a LUN on your raid for each blade.
c. If I use SSD, I can even ghost one to another using FOG.
2. Storage
