No, its not stupid, especially since everyone talk about FDDI rings when
the reality is that you have to wire radially to use concentrators.

SAS to SAS is allowed, ie.; a two `node' ring.  While not `legal', I suppose
that some implementations will support rings with more than two SAS nodes,
although I suspect that they would more legitimately be called `A' ports.
