Ah, I knew it wouldn't be _that_ easy ;-)
Well, what is the CORE of Grid capabilities is in the eye of
the beholder I think. Certainly, the strawman covers the
core capabilities from the SAGA use cases.
However, if you ask some OGSA guy about the core of Grid
capabilities, I am fairly sure that stream multiplexing will
be very much absent on his list...
So, for us it certainly is the core of things we need - in
the grandbright future of SAGA scope it is probably not.
But, actually, whatever - its just naming after all... ;-)
As long as we know what we want to achieve it does not
matter. (But I would hate to hear "you need to do service
management, that _definitely_ belongs to the core of Grids").
Cheers, Andre.
