[racktables-users] Re: Adding 'reserved' status to a rack

If existing rackspace state diagram isn't going to change much (IOW, to

it up), implementing a new "R" state should be an easy hack. Are there
other people, who agree, that this extra complexity is necessary? I
don't have a clear opinion on this at the moment.

For my own purposes, if I had to reserve rack space, I'd just create a 42U blank and insert it into the rack. Or two 21U blanks. Or whatever. Add appropriate device notes to say, "Reserved for customer <X> expansion anticipated June '08" or something.
