I've totally seen someone open the door to the closet, poke at a bunch
of shit, plug in a cable somewhere, and see pony bounce off the network.

I honestly believe that having a large-ish router with a bunch of ports
out of the way is going to be way easier to manage and less prone to
getting fucked with than a switch at hand reachable level.
