In a production environment if you're only working on one thing at a
time, you've lost.  You can spend the extra 3 minutes a well designed
kickstart system would take to place the x libraries and various
graphical apps on the system during install to answer some mails or
repair another problem all from your desk.  Once the install is done you
can then call up the tools remotely and easily accomplish your task
while even working on other things at the same time.

Prefer yes, able to find reasonably priced people for that maybe someday
need?  Not so easy.  I would prefer to design our infrastructure so that
it's easy to navigate, easy to maintain, logical, and efficient.  Then I
can reduce head count over time and have an easier time finding
replacements when needed.

Why make things harder than they should be?  Just so that you can be
l33t?
