I thought that would get your attention. Its actually just [endorsing an Eclipse implementation of a standard it supports- service modelling language (SML)](http://port25.technet.com/archive/2007/01/15/sml-update.aspx), but that’s still pretty big news.

[Cosmos](http://www.eclipse.org/proposals/cosmos/) is designed to make systems management integration easier, which is a good thing, and explains why Port25 is talking to it.
