Well, in the request above there was also 1/ a couple of these EX2 to be use for linux gerrit buildboxing 2/ budget to get a Mac to do release on a TDF owned and controlled box, which will also help for builbot when not doing release build. (on top of the 2 I already provide) These two should still move along... Beside, I would ask that the above budget be 'reserved' until the situation clarify. if we find way to do it cheaper great... but I would not want to be stuck until next year because everything has been spent already, nor would I like for us to have to dig in the reserve for that predictable and anticipated need.
