My complaint is not with moving cables, it's in doing so without having proper change control.
Change control? We're talking about a datacenter that provides racks, power, and connectivity, and the responsible folks from various Institutes get to rack, connect, etc them all....
Clean data centers == good Arbitrarily moving hardware without planning and authorization == bad
The racks are locked, so no one who doesn't have access to the rack can do anything, but this shared rack!
