Craig, Did we have one of havoc/wreck/chaos earmarked to function as the master, or did we want an isolated instance running the orchestrating? The load for a handful of machines should be next to nothing, so dedicated hardware is not required, but an isolated environment would likely be best for various reasons including security. Getting the framework set up should be a day or so of work, but dialing in all of the logic to replicate the current state of things and the requests in the gist will be a bit longer. With Salt Helium having just gone gold, I think we have a solid release to get things moving.
