You might not need remote execution for AI/robotics, but it is critical for
computational biology.

I think rather than some sort of homogenization of our projects, we'd be
better off distinguishing application integration and application
development.  GMS/Loci can handle the first, and Overflow can handle the
second.  This is item 1) from before, which you said is trivial.  But
considering issues of authentication/security that Jarl brought up, issues of
Internet-awareness that I brought up, and issues of speed/performance that you
brought up, it may be an insurmountable task trying to get Overflow to do all
of this.  In any case, making Overflow's core 'the' core would leave very
little left of the GMS project...and I think that's why Jarl is feeling a bit
jilted.

We could use...

    GNU VSH

like 'New VSH'.
