We'll need non-returns in there as well, to limit the maximum possible
spillage. More seriously, the energy-efficiency community has a whole design
approach for industrial facilities called "Factor 10 Engineering" which is
about saving heat or cooling by using the shortest, straightest, fattest
pipes you can at any point. You'd probably want to keep the flexible "water
over ethernet" pipes to a minimum; have a pair of bigger risers per rack and
tap into those.

Provided the brilliant tech didn't forget to remove the grit from the
connector on the pizzabox that then gets in the said valve and wedges
it open..... :)  Remember folks, someone will always make "brighter"
remote hands....

In principal, though, I like it.

A valve in the connector; has to be pushed in by the other connector
to let the water flow. Water pressure pushes it shut otherwise so it
fails-safe.

That would be pretty good. But seeing some of the disastrous cabling
situations it'd have to be made pretty idiot proof.

Nice double sealed idiot proof piping with self-sealing ends..

I still think the industry needs to standardise water cooling to

it; if there were two water ports on all the pizzaboxes next to
the RJ45s,
and a standard set of flexible pipes, how many people would start
using it?
There's probably a medical, automotive or aerospace standard out
there.
