Mike,
  I agree with what you say.
But there are still boards out there where the lm_sensors calibration is 
a mystery (Arima HDAMA opteron boards for instance).

IPMI cards cost a few tens of pounds at purchase time - if any GLLUGers 
get to specify servers, get these cards included, even if you don't 
intend to use them right away.

Also you should look at the motherboard manufacturers own sensors 
software. For instance Supermicro have their Superodoctor software, 
which can look at fan speeds, temperatures, and redundant PSU status.
