True.  Leo's point of being able to centrally provide UPS has
merit.  I'm just a big believer in minimizing outage effect scope as
much as possible mainly because I know for a fact that if I took down my
house's central switch, my wife while understanding why she can't reach
outside her office would be quite annoyed that everything in her office
was unreachable.
