@dgerard I do have some anxiety here, though: I know plenty of managers who'd look at the possibility and decide that they're geniuses who have figured out a bold, brilliant plan to cut costs and have a great next quarter. Never mind every person with a technical clue saying it's a irresponsibly bad idea -- those naysayers are just focused on problems, not solutions.
It'll take enormous losses, outages, and data leaks to have a chance of getting through to them...
