Isn't there (wasn't there?) a statement from IBM saying that direct

I thought I read somewhere that only fabric was supported for production
work. But now can't lay my hands (aka: web browser) on that doc...
I think the statement was made that connection via a switched fabric was "recommended"
while point-to-point was "supported." Direct-attached arbitrated loops are not supported
at all.
Based on your personal experience, you know how much functionality is lost when
not connecting through a fabric switch. If the customer's security team is
willing to buy off on that (and I hope they're not), then there's probably not
much you can do.
