I'm not looking forward to the day when management kills the only scalable mail system on campus (which hasn't seen any significant upgrades in eight years and still handles ~65k users), thus forcing a total of more than 20k users into Exchange, which is currently having major heartburn handling about one-third that load. I can't hope that someone will get fired for this fiasco in progress, because then the people who would be fired are the systems staff who are simply doing what they are told by management, and are themselves good people who are being given an impossible task. If I could be sure that the people to be fired would be the management types forcing this decision for totally asinine reasons, then I'd be happy to hope that multiple someones would get fired.
