Well, every time we try to get forward motion, we get feedback or input
that dissipates it, IMO. ;-)

For virtual networking, IMO there is work on virtualizing routers (ala
RFC1812), but not hosts (e.g., RFC1122/23).

For virtual systems, I'll let others speak as to the potential overlap
with other WGs or RGs.

Finally, this would be a RG (IRTF) not a WG (IETF).
