Sure, we'll watch out for that. There's nothing in the small rack that
needs moving around, and the switching gear and firewall is unlikely to be
prodded.

I should probably explain that the cleanup was prompted by me getting
stuck behind Manbo this afternoon and extricated by a surprised [LAW], so
it's mainly about reducing the mess of cables behind the racks, tidying up
the benches, and maybe doing something about the spaghetti-patchcabling.
If we get overexcited we might even vacuum the floor.
