+ Webscale Packaging Improvements and main promotions
+ * Nginx - Has become de-facto scalable web server, and grown up as an OSS project now
+     - Bug tracker? Now addressed
+     - Supporting tooling might need some work to get feature parity with Apache:
+         - nginxensite/nginxenmod etc....
+     - http://nginx.org/en/security_advisories.html
+     - Better backend support sounds compelling
+ [] identify specific advantages of nginx over apache: TODO
+ [] review security track record of nginx: TODO
+ [] speak with upstream re main inclusion appetite: TODO
+ [] prepare MIR for nginx (depends on above): BLOCKED
+ * Node.js - Gaining popularity fast, and *SHOULD* be a build-dep of OpenStack Horizon
+    - Also a direct dependency of the new Juju GUI
+    - Azure tooling
+    - Openstack Horizon Build Dependency
+    - RBD's should drive seeding...
+ ?? Default interpreter name ??

+ * MongoDB (also headed for main as part of juju)
+     - Dependency for Go Juju
+     - Required support for TLS - needs looking at....
+     - ceilometer support required this
+ Cons: large codebase
+ Pros: good upstream development process.
+ [] evalute mongodb for supported seed: TODO
+ [] confirm upstream appetite: TODO
+ [] hook up with go juju team with dependency on mongodb: TODO
