I can sense there is some frustration in the air in regards to how Plesk 
and/or cPanel operate and how this duopoly appears to be hindering 
serious innovation.

We run a very sizeable shared web hosting operation (500k+ hosted 
domains) and we faced similar challenges. About a year ago, we undertook 
the task of developing our own provisioning infrastructure designed from 
the ground up to be native to a cloud environment (and much more). This 
fall, we are ready to release and migrate our own customer base and then 
take it further and make it usable by any host.

I'd love to see who on this list would be interested in forming a group 
that participates in its further development. Our focus would be to help 
making sure it's designed to innovate, change the way we think about how 
shared hosting is delivered and avoid the inherent design flaws that 
come with cPanel/Plesk that make our life hard and our customers unhappy.

This was kind of off-topic, but that said: we'll make it work with IPv6.

If you're interested, please message me off-list for further discussion.
