We've had a lot of positions lately that have been newly designed & it is
incredibly useful to have a large set of data to see how institutions are
defining and situating their technology position.  In that respect I'd say
that the jobs postings are just as valuable strategically as the many other
discussion that focus on specific technologies.  That, and the fact that
trying to keep job postings from a popular seems impossible.
