Exactly! No “roll back the VM, we’re done!”.

There’s a client I have that moved into a Level3 facility that was built out in the mid-90’s and it was kind of surprising to see that the racks and overhead trays all had wax string wrapping for the stuff (and 23” wide cabs, and 48V DC power). The wrapping is so neat, first time I got to see it up close.
