Just so that people are aware... We'll have to introduce thermal 
constraint management into the scheduler mix as well at some point.  
Right now what we have is an ad hoc subsystem that simply monitors 
temperature and apply crude cooling strategies when some thresholds are 
met. But a better strategy would imply thermal "provisioning".
