So bearing in mind that I am not intimately aware of how the current 
communities are run, nor how much things are shared or independent....

I would imagine a virtualisation community, with endorsed projects for 
BrandZ, Xen, LDOMS, & Zones.

But again - I don't purport to know how the communities are run - if 
they feel they would benefit from having a shared community, then I 
think this is a great idea.  If they feel they are better run 
independently with their own governance, then I feel it's not worth 
considering the merged community proposal.

My key point is that it's not up to me to decide.  It's up to the 
communities that would be affected.

cheers,
steve
