Caveats:
[ 17 pages of caveats elided ]
I realize I am wordy, but four bullet points (one of which involves apparel) != "17 pages of caveats". Nice try. The rest of the email was inline replies to Justin's points.
We're not supposed to use emoticons on NANOG; it's unprofessional or something. :-)
So, the elephant in the room at this stage of the thing is this:
Why don't you just *put this stuff in a building*, and, y'know, never demolish it?
Have you ever been involved in University space wars? Especially in a new building? The 9-layer OSI model gets pretty top-heavy when you factor that in. If anything, the caveats helped to keep others from wanting to use the space.
Nope. But this isn't "space". It's "equipment". I assume they're not moving their 1.5MW gensets around every year either?
But I will say that the general difficulty of getting equipment in and out of the CEVs generally discouraged UCB from doing more CEVs beyond the 3 originals. That _one_ caveat weighed pretty heavily.
Yeah; cranes are a bitch. :-) You seem to be taking this awfully personally, though, Mike; did you *set* the policies and procedures I'm scoffing at? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
