Extreme take: Numbers-wise, that should probably be the default ;-)
In particular, the world runs on power laws, and I'm betting most server apps are boring occasional internal stuff at the not-even-1-qps level. Long tails add up to be the typical project. So yeah, if all the worlds internal django tools can do scale-to-zero with fast cold start on shared boxes with 100X more tenancy than today, that's saving a lot of electricity & hw. Sort of a virtualization equivalent of "640K ought to be enough for anybody".
