I guess I'm not surprised, but then again, it does make me scratch
my head about vendors who are still in love with blades.  you know,
headlines like "HP puts 1000 cores in a rack".  and who buys them?
I picture PHB's buying blade chassis and then putting just one per rack 
for heat-density reasons.

maybe blades are creating a giant market for blanking panels ;)
