Build fleet to scale in time, not one spec

Because new chips like Vera Rubin Ultra will have radically different power density and cooling requirements, datacenters should not be built entirely to one spec; you want to be scaling in time across generations rather than scaling once and being stuck with depreciating, single-generation infrastructure.
