We've often used machines out of warranty for more capacity where they're non critical services, I suspect part of the issue here is there's a DC move where all of the Fedora infra is being shipped across the US and I suspect (I'm not working on this project) that the cost of shipping EOL servers from PHX to RDU is probably a lot more than the value of the equipment so it likely doesn't make financial sense to do so in this case. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
