Fantastic; is this on-track for inclusion in 8.04 Hardy, the next LTS release?

Yes it is

This is fantastic news!  For those who don't keep tabs on Ubuntu
release schedules, this means that around April 2008 we'll have a
5-year stable platform for LTSP servers with local apps.

While I hesitate to prognosticate, my gut tells me we'll see a similar
release somewhere around April-June 2010, as well.  Having an
every-few-years upgrade cycle to plan around... priceless!
