It's possible that some of their folks could have an ulterior motive, especially if you're a lifer with no other six-figure skill sets.
I voted yes last time, but if there were a next time I'd probably need to see some sort of independent analysis of the likely-hood of common-carrier and the ramifications before I decided.
