Host systems may follow, but I doubt deployment will start from that type of systems since host systems already allow me to put whatever I want there to solve my configuration problem (e.g. cfengine or other systems).
I agree with you mostly. In my email that started this discussion, I really meant network services that happen to be running on a linux box instead of a traditional NE box. I never meant user applications. I certainly never meant Windows. If I am using a CM system for the NE boxes that manages a particular service, then I would rather have it support the occasional linux box as well, rather than use an entirely separate CM system for that platform.
