Loud and annoying isn't the half of it.

Having servers in the space means that the power, network capacity,
temperature, and even air quality in the space have implications for the
services being provided to people out on the internet.  This transforms
blowing a fuse from a minor inconvenience into a disaster; it means that the
network being down is something that has to be Fixed Immediately rather than
cleverly worked around.  It means that the bandwidth we use to use the
internet is competing with the bandwidth we're using to serve our little
part of the internet.

Please, let's let servers live where servers belong, in their natural
habitat:  a server room.

Thanks,
