On one side you have pure business drives, on the other you have pure
'internet-good' drives. So far I haven't seen anyone suggest a useful
middle ground.
Personally I don't like people in the way of getting my IPs, but I'm
all for someone figuring out a solution to virtual hosting and QoS
issues.
Shifting goal-posts just makes our jobs more fun. :-)
