Actually I can see exactly where this may be useful.  I can think of at 
least one customer off the top of my head who has insisted on having a 
TDM2400 installed in a Dell server that we /know/ can't provide enough 
power to the card where it's being used as a collection of FXS ports.  
Of course we've advised them of the limitation, but they completely 
ignored us.  :)

Something like this would have allowed us to provide a solution to a 
problem that is likely to come back and bite us in the future.
