I think that last phrase is the major problem...
I can see how FAI is great if you need to punch out a huge load of
identical machines; but to update the scripts after installation such
that they would produce identical machines to the ones already running,
would a) require a testing environment which we do not have (or cannot
provide), and b) would take a lot of time that, I think, the admins do
not have.
