Valentin's experiment is visible in Octobus' development repository:
https://mirror.octobus.net/octobus/mercurial-devel/log?rev=c7af02%3A%3A
Valentin initial goal was to produce a proof of concept. Now that this
experiment is a clear success (as you noticed), we (Octobus) are looking
into turning it into more production ready code upstream. Raphaël Gomès
started working on that (with Georges' help). He should start sending
patches about it in the coming weeks.
