I haven't worked with MV before, so
	* are these MV requests?
	* would MV hit a reset button and choose a kernel if we got into a 
bind?

The theory being, let's not secure the box such that someone has to 
drive in if a kernel update goes bad and there's another option.

Assuming MV has access control to their server room, backups and 
auditing may be better than securing against physical attack.  The 
determined attacker can always just steal a RAID drive.
