Personally my issues are console-cable related: is
there a benefit to the HUGE variety of console pinouts
used by the various hardware vendors? Just look at
vendor C as an example (I can think of four types
immediately) - not only are the types of console port
not standardized, but process for determining the
location of the port clearly involved the reading of
entrails...
