Dynamic configuration of servers is a great boon to integrated
hardware/software suppliers who want to control their customers'
configurations. (What company doesn't want to control its customers?)
If not the supplier company, then some political authority. The allowed
configurations are/will be stored in the cloud where the customer/sysadmin
can't touch them or even know that they exist.
A scary paranoid thought. But paranoids can have friends who want to
protect them from the knowledge that they are not in control.
