This blog post started out as a response to a private email discussion between me and contributing developer Eric (tssgery) whom recently developed TurnKey Observium, one of TurnKey's top ten downloads. Observium is very popular for a newly hatched appliance. It has the same number of downloads as Redmine, which we've supported for a few years now!

TKL has two big issues as I see it:

1. Marketing. You're the best kept secret of the internet.
2. Testing. Too many appliance/products to be supported.
