I'm inclined to think that one of the problems is that I/S is not
prepared to spend overmuch effort on helping people with private
workstations, and at the same time, there is a real need on campus for
lots of private workstations in places where people don't have the
energy to keep up with I/S.
Perhaps (this is obviously more than release-team can do itself) I/S
might want to offer a more serious private workstation support? It
would obviously require funding and staffing, and maybe private
workstations owners would be charged internal billing "dollars" for
it, but it's a decent idea, I think...
