When you work with people that put up with monsoons, somehow having to
finish the release paperwork via notebook batteries and cellphone wifi
doesn't seem like a big deal.
I have actually fired up big DB updates via ssh session on a smartphone,
with a magnifying glass. That ain't fun. One of these days android
ssh clients will actually do ALL the dang characters on a bluetooth
keyboard like CTRL-X and CTRL-E without contortions.
