I by no means would like to do such a thing.  I was just suggesting it as
something that seems convenient as a consumer of labs resources.  If it
makes sense for ops to monitor one cluster then that's ok by me.  It just
seems like sometimes we have to do things that we're not 100% sure are
safe, and when they're not, some of our tools go down.  Since a lot of
people depend on those tools having pretty much 24/7 uptime, and since
those same people usually seem to not mind if they're not running on the
fastest labs hardware, best NFS setup, etc, I made the "graduate labs"
suggestion.  But this is because I'm 100% ignorant of how ops works :)
 Feel free to interpret my point of view however you wish, but I am not
trying to cause ops more work, just stating things as I see them.
