I agree with Scott on this one. In-kind contributions are great if they have a real purpose, which in this case it means the folks responsible for deploying the contribution have to agree it is worth the trouble. Another example is somebody accepting a bunch of equipment for use in the next IETF meeting when the NOC doesn't necessarily need or want that item.
