This is a Real Switch for Real Operators.  If you want proper OOB, go out
and buy yourself some crappy €800 server with iDRAC, ILO or RSA, any of
which will give you full remote console access, power cycle control and
comprehensive management software.

Real Operators don't need proper OOB.  They drive to lights-out facilities
at 02:00 in the morning and praise their vendors at loud volume for
providing them with the opportunity for showing off their operational
machismo by hitting a power switch in person.

Man up, Saku.
