I wish folks would just stop this nonsense. Let the problem define the solution. If three problems are best solved by three seperate distributions, or even another os (BSD), then deal with it, don't force folks to stick to one canned solution.
if your sysadmin staff is worth anything, they can easily pickup/adjust between them.
Rather expensive implementation. A gas tax would have the same effect less the implementation costs of a black box in each car. Clearly other motive are in play if this article is legitimate.
Does the convince of a bundle really justify the cost? how hard is it for a contractor to tape 5 wires to a "fish line" and pull it to the destination?
Just run the cables with a pull through wire and deal with it later... Just make sure the contracter angles the holes to go with the bend rather then a blunt 90 ( assumes timber frame )...
"MRAM combines the best features of today's common semiconductor memory technologies -- the high speed of SRAM (static RAM), the storage capacity and low-cost of DRAM (dynamic RAM) and the non-volatility of flash memory." original source here
As for Going to SS disks for the world at large? Not really cost effective for the average joe. There are some specific applications that can be justified, but you're better off maxing out your ram, buying some more "mechanical" storage devices. Take what you saved from buying a "small" SS disk and buy a few rounds duff for your neighborhood.

What about the IBM 360/91 from the late 60's? It used Tomasulo ( register renaming) for out of order execution...
As for multiple issue processors, how about the AP-120B ( floating point processor ) from the early 1980's...
I'm sure the above satisfies prior art, unless Cornell has some exotic twist on the implementation that they have received the patent for.

oh boy, remember our hero Mr. Bill...

If you have the money go for the conduit...
Persistancy problem has already been solved:
