They aren't largely unused: they seem mostly congested, and there is some
difficulty figuring out which elevator is coming, because the "ding" light
often changes from while one is waiting.  People wait a long time for one,
and so people are multi-pathing and using the guest floor elevators, but
since we can't see the congestion queue 20floors up: we are doing ECMP, when
it should be more of a failover.

There must be stairs somewhere up to the 6th floor, for emergencies.
