For pgFoundry, the issue isn't the PHP, or the database, which will be taken
care of by other means. It's:
mailman config
mail ques
CVS
files & file permissions
cron jobs
etc.
While it might be possible to do all of the above via a straight-up file-based
RSync, it removes the convenience ... and portablility ... of the
copy-the-whole-VM approach. And, if we can't do that, then heck if I'm
going to use VMs at all ...
