I had the same thought. And from what I've heard, graphite is no longer recommended
for locks either; part of the reason seems to be that it absorbs moisture. Instead there
are spray cans with neat teflon-bearing very light lubricant, they work very nicely.
If I had slides that needed lubrication I might try some anti-seize compound like the
stuff some guns want in the action.

I have several difficult slides in my H960 rack.
What is the best lubricant for the slides?
I was wondering if graphite would work better than oil due to the fact that it won't
pick up dirt and dust.
Powdered graphite for lubricating locks?
I wouldn't like to have conductive stuff like that anywhere it might
get sucked in by fans and deposited on PCBs.
