@gamingonlinux no timelines for the Linux stuff of course, as you point out, but... this is not the first time it's come up ;) they already do the headless client testing work on Linux (the cloud tester tool), so it's not as unreasonable or as much of a stretch as it might possibly seem, either... keeping a close eye on those bits:)
