Actually I was thinking of the case where it may, or may not, need to
delete itss elf from multiple racks it sits in.

Not quite sure, but I get a feeling some of the advanced ideas for
portal content could make use of it. It's just a gut feeling, I'm still
wrapping my brain around ZPatterns . ;) Lemme think about it, I am sure
I can come up with one or two. As to whether there would be any
advantage to it, would be another thing.

ISTR someone talking about possibly using multiple racks recently.
