I think it's worth pointing out that we're facing the end of IT as we know it. I think that the only difference the "cloud revolution" will have is meaning that IT staff will work for some cloud provider rather than the companies themselves.

Perfect! This repairs the relationship because it means these people will be responsible for _producing value_. In most organizations this is a cost center designed (whether consciously or not) to produce friction in the name of safety.

There's probably a TSA-privatization analogy here somewhere.
