Excellent approach, thank you.

Me, having been at nanog all day, where I accidentally wiped out my
vpn servers (while having a deep conversation about quagga),
simultaneously terrified of losing the mail server and trying to fix
it..., and now (11PM PDT) having succeeded in uncrashing the email
server, and sorted through a zillion documents on how to do antispam,
and having also built 7 new virtual servers for flent, and restored my
vpn partially, and nuked 27,000 files that were clogging up the
works...

...am going to bed. (after driving 2 hrs home).

It would have been nice to have got the "fedora 22 uses fq_codel by
default!" email and had a little more time left over for dancing
before this email. ;)

Why do we do this?
