A big disadvantage of in-house is that it leads to an inventory of

We had some issues with these NASA owned machines in the previous
department i worked for. Because of arcane rules of ownership and what
could be done with these machines, they sat in a closet for years
(they may still be there) because noone knew what could be legally
done with these extrememly outdated and useless machines.
