I don't think anyone in this thread is 'fixated' on the idea of airgapping;=
but it's generally a good idea whenever possible, and as restrictive a com=
munications policy as is possible is definitely called for, amongst all the=
other things one ought to be doing.
It's also important to note that it's often impossible to *completely* airg=
ap things, these days, due to various interdependencies, admin requirements=
(mentioned before), and so forth; perhaps bastioning is a more apt term.
