I agree entirely.
I feel the same way about OpenBSD when they come round begging for money.
I'm like "sure, great cause, but can we first have chat about your totally energy inefficient hosting of multiple racks full of ancient power-hungry kit in Theo's basement".
Money doesn't grow on trees, and especially in this era of inflation and high energy prices, I'm afraid I don't think it is unreasonable for me to expect the organisation asking me for money to get their affairs in order first.

They've said before they hardware heterogeneity has been useful in bug hunting, and at worst it can be viewed as a heating expense for the fairly prolific guy. Does qemu support all those architectures ?

At least that's what I recall reading when it was discussed at the time, i.e. it was met with one of Theo's famous hard "no".
