What do we think of equalizing resistors for filter capacitors in series in 
the age of closely matched, low leakage electrolytics?  We don't use 
resistors across series silicon diodes anymore.  Do we still need them for 
series caps?

The ones in question: New 330 uF 400V aluminum electrolytics in a 600V choke 
input power supply.  These babies are rated to 105 deg C.  Wow.
