For Eisner, I'd toss a vote in the ballot box for HBVS.  Most of the 
hardware is already there.  I've experienced several sites using the
SWXCR and, to me, the down-time to boot into ARC, run the rcu to fix
the problem, and then reboot SRM and VMS is not worth it in most, if
not all, of the cases I've been privy.
