Not for every case, but sometimes rolling my own OOB makes more sense than paying the vendor extra to provide me with another different one.

Avocent to on-band RS232 compared to switch to out-of-band ethernet are
equally homogeneous. You connect to them in standard way (true out-of-band
ssh, telnet) once you are connected, you're on your own in both cases,
interface is heterogeneous

Sure for power-cycle you can do it same way for each system. But we're not
arguing managed power supply versus CMP. We're arguing on-band RS232 versus
out-of-band ethernet.
