Well I am more worried about xml versus playbooks. in any case I think
I will go with ansible .. will see how much I can learn while on
Percacet (hey its QA environment right before release.. how bad could
it be :)?)

well, if QA folks are willing to give that a try, sounds reasonable to

I'd suggest we leave the autoqa machines alone until after release, but

on.
Perhaps Tim can chime in here and explain the kinds of things they
are doing now that they would like to not have to do once things are
automated...
