Posting here is a good start. You can also add a note in the FESCo ticket
for approval once one is filed, and if you are incredibly passionate you can
come to the FESCo meeting (although I'm hoping we can make those meetings
more efficient, so that's not a good place for back and forth -- if possible
we should work out the issues before the meeting).

I assume that it's for a kiosk or public (or at least managed) lab
situation. It makes sense for that, but I'm not convinced of a benefit
otherwise, and I don't think that situation is the default....
