single-system image clustering obsolete?

Hello everyone,

I have just read the end-of-life announcement of OpenMosix (a Linux extension 
for single-system image clustering that allows building a cluster from 
ordinary networked computers).

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=715406


What hit me is the reason:

The increasing power and availability of low cost multi-core processors is 
rapidly making single-system image (SSI) Clustering less of a factor in 
computing. The direction of computing is clear and key developers are moving 
into newer virtualization approaches and other projects.


Isn't SSI a major goal of DragonFly?
