Protect your datacenter by reducing the oxygen.

I guess there is a new concept being shown at cebit for protecting your datacenter from fire. You reduce the amount of oxygen that is in the air in your datacenter. Air typically has about 21% oxygen in the air and you can keep most fires from starting by reducing the oxygen levels to around 16%.
This is supposed to still be safe for human to breath and it like being at a very high altitude. Great now we get to put up with bone chilling temps and low oxygen. Sounds like a cool idea, will have to wait for more details on this.
Another article on this. This article is a little more questionable, they seem to be trying to say that by reducing the oxygen level it prevents overheating. I doubt it.
