No doubt.  But ask that same question of sysadmins, and
you'll probably get a different answer.

A better user experience trumps sysadmin concerns in my
book, but I would like to see some discussion of what
sorts of tools we'll be providing for administration.
I'd hate for us to lose out on a large deployment for
not being sysadmin-friendly.
