The Chicago IDC had always claimed this was their policy (no cardboard was
allowed into the datacenter because it supposedly can sometimes set off
their moisture alarms), however, I didn't see it enforced in practice
until within the last year (as was evidenced by the fact that we had
stacks of boxes in our cage most of the time a couple years ago).  But in
general, the Chicago IDC hasn't been consistent within it's own walls, not
to mention with how the other IDC's operate.
