Kewl, I had never heard of firestopping putty. I assume/hope it can
be easily dug out when/if you need to fish new cables. I think I'd
like it, too, for it's draft blockage feature

Absolutely, has become a big problem with independent contractors in many
building (especially hospitals). When I did a major rewire in the early
1990s (to EIA/TIA specifications), I pulled out so much cable and found so
much out of compliance work .. that the engineering department of the
hospital thanked me and the legal counseling firm sent me a big gift for
reduced risk and potential litigation costs.
