Spring and fall like clockwork plus one or two for good measure the rest of
the year. I certainly wouldn't be able to run any enterprise without
significant UPS under those conditions. Fortunately it's just me and the
few fsck operations it causes aren't an issue for me. In seven years I
haven't had a catastrophic drive failure, just some uuid corruptions;
trivial to deal with.

Well he did say voltage but perhaps he was referring to when the old fleet
is entirely retired. For now they might be modifying the older still
serviceable cars to deal with higher voltage in some way.
