There's a couple reasons for us:

1. Users (generally out of ignorance) will just run whatever they want via
SSH, rather than reserving resources.

2. Their processes are not guaranteed to end with the job

We don't do a lot of MPI, but tight integration was even easier to get
going than loose integration because we didn't have to worry about getting
users setup for passwordless logins since UGE handled the process
startup/teardown.
