    I always wondered what happened when the Halon fire suppressant in the machine room was released. The operations people used to say "you die" but I now wonder if post-event, all those hosts are toasts.. (not that halon is helium, more that the operating environment assumptions around things is constrained by normal atmosphere and the fine print may well say "doesn't work well if you change this")

    Interesting. I wonder how this plays into medical device approval. Is a helium a test they'd conduct for safety?
