Customers that cap their environment are typically *VERY* sensitive to the possibility of exceeding that agreed cap. Prior to Capacity Groups that meant setting the caps to that, and eating the resultant problems.

Same customer regularly moves capacity around, but keep the total strictly enforced. If devs are screaming, their management has to go in to bat for them - either negotiate or pay for a larger capacity on that LPAR.
