I think one of the problems here is CK runs against a body of shared
administration experience
in the community. There isn't a shared understanding of how to use CK
effectively to get common hardware related admin crap done, so as a
result any explanation on how to do something semi-involved as an
administrator which boils down to "it uses CK to do it" just doesn't
connect.
