fine.  we use the CMS, you should already have the karma.

personally, I'd rather have a standing offer to labs (e.g. effectively
what the advertised zone was) and only provision it upon first
request.  As we've seen, no one has asked to use the zone [that you
note we really don't yet have].  So, I don't see an upside of
provisioning it without a user nor a downside of lazily provisioning
it.

yes, I like this.  i'd cobbled together something that goes doap file
hunting and keeps updated on status[1] before, but something
better/more robust would be great I think.
