Yeah... should be OK.  We may want to do some other things with that
page, though I haven't given it much thought as of yet.  Anyone else have
thoughts?

As I've stated since the beginning, so very much agreed.

As long as it's available to developers, my needs are satisfied - but I'm
still open to others who may feel otherwise.  Anyone?

This, I would agree on.  Yukon is much better suited for the
mission-critical task of actually housing the data.  More redundant, and
much more beefy than Vodka.  The front end can scale much easier across
multiple boxes if that need should ever arise as well, while it's a much
more difficult task to scale the backend across many boxes.  With our new
design, front end processing will be FAR less - as OODS will be our
"Application Server" and can be run on Yukon.

Anyways - my feelings on this suggestion are an ademant "YES".  :)  Thanks
Aaron.
