That is the situation in other places where people might want to use Swift 
too, although not ones that have funding to be developed - one is the 
european model of a grid-central resource broker that carries everything 
along in a job submission, and the other is a condor pool running on 
workstations with no shared filesystem. (both of those have been 
prototyped with Swift in the past).
