Architecture Summit 2014/RFC clusters

=Background= The idea with this grouping is that we want it to be granular enough to consider batches of RFCs on this type of 90 minute agenda:
 * Lightning talk 1 - 5 min
 * Short Q&A 1 (clarifications only) 5 min
 * Lightning talk 2 - 5 min
 * Short Q&A 2 (clarifications only) 5 min
 * Lightning talk 3 - 5 min
 * Short Q&A 3 (clarifications only) 5 min
 * General discussion (60 minutes)

=Working Groups= This is a very first stab and will change, this is not definitive.
