They serve quite well until I get to a switch that some douchebag
mounted rear facing on the front posts of the rack with servers above
and below and I just stand there cursing for a while as I scratch my
head trying to figure out how the hell to even get to the tab in the
first place...

Has anybody ever seen this with a switch that's 2U or thicker? I've
only seen it perpetrated with 1U switches, a situation that usually
results in my lapsing into Russian....

(For the record, my knowledge of Russian is limited to those words that
Latvian carpenters reserve for hammers that aim at thumbs. :)
