True.  Looking at a picture of the PoE hat on a Pi it's obvious that the
fan is right above the shiny new SoC.  It's a lot neater and cheaper
than the earlier Pi Supply product.  It does seem to sit rather close,
which I guess means it will fit in some current cases, but doesn't
leave much space for additional fins.  I wonder how noisy it is.
