[Swift-devel] Coaster capabilities for release 0.9

[Ioan Raicu]

I don't want to through Falkon back in the mix, but Falkon does have an 
emulator as well, that can probably do the simulation of multiple 
clusters as you said you wanted. This is assuming Coasters will run over 
Falkon, and you need significant effort to implement it in Coaster or a 
fake provider.
