How do we know you won't leak the location to the enemy?
As per the Player Guide on this website

TREAT EVERYONE AS HOSTILE unless you know otherwise, i.e. if you don't know someone as a friend or acquaintance assume they are planning to kill you and watch them at all times.

Since there is a limited amount of Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz Woodcrest blades there is a possibility that players will abuse this system. Scarcity of resources and so forth.
Quote:
You may not do anything that interferes with the ability of other EVE Online subscribers to enjoy the game or web site in accordance with its rules. This includes, but is not limited to, making inappropriate use of any public channels within the game and/or intentionally creating excessive latency (lag) by dumping cargo containers, corpses or other items in the game world.
- Would it violate the EULA to petition to reinforce a system that you would intentionally would avoid in order to create a misdirection for your opponents?
- Players could petition several decoy systems and/or real target systems in order to deny their opponents the use of the faster blade computers. This would force their opponent to either use less players, not attack at all or if they attack cause node crashes and lag.
- Players could also potentially do the above and at the same time ask to have a real target system reinforced. In essence grabbing all the fast servers for themselves.
- Players could also potentially petition to reinforce several systems that they know will be empty in order to use up all the Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz Woodcrest blades in order to ensure lag for their real destination.
- How will you ensure that the Intel Xeon 3.0Ghz Woodcrest blades are distributed fairly among the players and systems? If the answer is yes then will it be on a first come, first serve basis?
- Will you stop players from abusing this system?
I would hope and prefer if CCP dealt with the rules regarding use and abuse of this system before the system is abused rather than after.

None of this is going to stop CCP employee xyz contacting Alliance Leader abc on MSN/IRC and telling them though, is it?
And nothing is going to stop Alliance Leader abc from replying: "Yeah, yeah, I know already."
There is no secrecy in eve.
I guess that makes it ok for CCP employees to cheat

@ Moon Kitten - i know you live in some state of paranoia about devhax but you have 2 choices: either to tell CCP to which systems to reinforce or dont. If you dont, you will get node crash and reinforced node just after, and then you will play "who can log on 1st" game. If you like the 2nd option - be my guest.
I would not call it paranoia. The combination of CCP's history and their policy of letting their employees play Eve and the widespread practise of meta-gaming in Eve makes it incredibly naive to not ask about who at CCP has access to information about future fleet movements.
There are more than two outcomes. Depending on how large your fleet is and your opponents response it would not necessarily result in lag or node crashes.
