Next Step in ISP Control Panels?

WebFaction has developed a new type of control panel. It offers an Ajax web interface that decouples the application from the domain: the root of a website might be served by Ruby on Rails while the /blog URL might be served by WordPress; reciprocally, multiple websites might be served from a single Django application, which reduces the resource usage on the server. A screencast demo of the control panel is available on their blog."

are you tard? control panel for webhosting is not about mananing server by GUI, its about giving your users/customers a web based app that they can login to manage their hosting account...etc. cpanel is full of bugs, i think this company might have a shot to dethron the current king of control panel.(cpanel)

AJAX? Agile web? Sorry guys - sooo 2005. The zeitgeist has morphed already.
Words like Rails, Blog, AJAX, Agile will draw only ridicule. Get over yourselves.
