Not sure this even relates to that rumor, but as Inara Pey points out with more details from a recent TPV Developers meeting, the Lab's blog post about SL future development mentions 

If I were to guess, I'd imagine that the cloud hosting will include more capacity-on-demand beyond the basic "sim idling" that has been part of the current datacenter-operated grid for several years now. Presumably cloud providers can more fluidly shift capacity among virtual hosts, but how well that can work may depend on details of the sim code itself.

Well, that could be homesteads without having to rent an island. Or void sims that perform better. Or some new thing like half a homestead. Or who knows!
