Right on.  I've made this and other updates  - see the latest at

 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Roadmap#head-1cc24b2ac1c3581dc666560f379b9edf2c6da595

I sent the first one to ubotu and am working with #ubuntu-ops on
approval.

I also proposed one for JeOS:

 JeOS (pronounced "Juice") is Just enough Operating System. It is an
 efficient variant of the Ubuntu Server operating system, configured
 specifically for virtual appliances. See
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JeOS for more information.

Ongoing input is welcome.

Cheers,
