Of course - ultimately that's always going to be the method of
prioritisation: cost -v- benefit.

And cost is as you've identified: more than just the time spent
coding it, it's all the practicalities of operating it too.

Up until now we haven't considered the benefits as being
strong enough to warrant even a detailed investigation, but
that seems to be changing.
