I've already said it at least once in this thread, obviously to no point
whatsoever.

People work better with, and relate better to, small groups. Something run
by some nebulous conceptually-distant large entity is, no matter what,
going to be subconsciously judged by that and not objectively.

Unfortunately sysadmins are mostly certain that they're more evolved and
beyond such concerns. Sometimes I think this is precisely why LOPSA is
perceived as not actually doing very much: firstly because as a big
"distant" thing it is automatically judged as less directly relevant to an
individual, and secondly because the people trying to do things within
LOPSA assume that actions at the level of LOPSA are automatically going to
be judged as just as good as or better than "wasteful" (a word bandied
about several times int his thread) actions at a more conceptually local
level.

(This is not unique to LOPSA either.)
