I do NOT believe these parameters should be left up to the SYSPROG, rather it should be the business. And, before you tell me there's a risk, let me point out that needs rarely occur overnight. Growth into larger needs is usually gradual, and with monitoring and planning, they can/should be handled effectively. - Too busy driving to stop for gas!
