Why would you use gold rather than Slurm's internal mechanism, which

Some reasons I can think of off the top of my head:
* You have an existing Gold instance
* You have non-SLURM batch environments on some of your systems
* Your accounting and allocation management system is part of your
larger account management infrastructure
Honestly, I don't like having accounting and allocation management
integrated too closely with the batch system. It makes it too hard when
I have to replace one or the other.
