Well, it's nice to have both processors running in an SMP box :-)

ssh in as "admin", no walking required.
And yes, we are planning to remove all of this stuff from the console
in the future.

Hmm, pulling random edits apart into fragments is definitely in the "this is
an exercise left for the reader" territory.
Remember many of the templates are Perl fragments, not just text strings.
Unrolling the resultant string into a piece of Perl with the same flexibility
as the original template is certainly an interesting challenge.
