| Here is Diane's relevant blog post:
As a longtime Cloud Foundry partner (and the community lead for Python), ActiveState's Stackato users and customers were surprised to see that we weren't included on the list of compatible products. To be completely honest, so were we. It turns out that the purpose of the program is to list public PaaS providers who share the common Cloud Foundry core. Because Stackato is not a public PaaS service (we put the "P" in PaaS but your organization's IT department or a service provider provides the "S"), we weren't included.
It gets more detailed after that w/respect to their sandbox.

I've pinged ActiveState as I was surprised to see Stackato was missing from the list.

Today there was an announcement in the news you should be aware of. The Cloud Foundry guys have made an attempt at cross-installation compatibility by defining supported application frameworks and services that
applications can use. There is a test tool. If the list of standard ones is present, then you are considered compatible, and an application expecting those components is expected to work when moved to that platform.
It
seems simple, but it does validate the idea of keeping some registry or list of common common components, and a well defined way to check if a given application is expected to work on a target platform.
