I didn't really think of it that way, I was just thinking if Joe Bloe
came along and wanted to 'unprovision' a system,
the 'Provision' tab would be a sane place to find it (I think).
I was thinking mainly in terms of admins trying to figure out why a
system is misbehaving (e.g. stuck in a reprovision loop), but if you
look at Jeff's description of his desired workflow (wanting to get to
the PXE menu to try installing the tree interactively) you would
similarly expect the Clear Netboot operation to be immediately followed
by Reboot System.
Trying to think in terms of flows through typical sequences of actions
rather than purely in terms of isolated actions is one of the rudiments
of UX design I *have* managed to pick up in recent years :)
Cheers,
Nick.
