"graceful degradation" -- it's been being taught in CS curricula for
*at least* twenty years. I'm disturbed by all the places that people
have chosen, when faced with the unexpected, to just panic, rather
than find a way to get back to some semblence of a running system.
I don't want some goofy UPS hanging off a USB bus, for instance, to
take down a critical storage server.
