This idea looks similar to Berlin/Fresco architecture
(http://wiki.fresco.org) to me.

After reading some papers from that site and some thinking
I got an impression that this is generally a wrong idea.
Although this might increase the speed
on remote connection, this reduces the flexibility of the system:
you would need to propagate your new cool widgets to every server.

So hard way of X seems right, "no policy" actually means "anything
can work remotely without my system modification".

What do you think?
