Sure, but the simple Postgres soln the author mentions works for 1000 servers. Assuming a power law distribution, technology like this is useful for a vanishingly small number of organizations. What's even more interesting is that it's pure admin overhead for those looking to centralize control over vast numbers of systems. So often technologists are asked to consider the moral or political implications of their work, and I think this is a good opportunity to do so.
