Re: Hosts?
They already did a fling for an HTML 5 host interface for ESXi that is more functional than C# vSphere client direct to host ever was.
It already ships in ESXi 6.0U2 and most likely isn't leaving.
I think with its' success and after finding how rapid they can code with modern web setups instead of old legacy junk, they feel they can make the timetable countdown to VMworld work to ship a finished product (or at least announce and ship 60-90 days later which has been their typical timetable the last 2-3 times).
