Not always or necessarily a good thing, evolution.

Doesn't seem "right", after all it IS the North American Backbone! Why let 
non-Z1 SysOps have access and the ability to change things? I'm not paranoid, 
just thinking, just common sense! I would rather have a non-Z1 SysOp work with 
a Z1 SysOp to change anything. Let a Z1 SysOp approve it and do submissions.

Maybe Nick will weigh in on this, but I DO see your point, just no NEED. :(
