It does solve the problem for now, but the parts aren't being made anymore. Maybe that's good enough for some people in some applications, but a lot of folks have very valid reservations about using EOL'd products regardless of how well-suited they may be at solving a problem. I mean: It's like work trucks. I'm a huge fan of GM's Astro/Safari line of RWD cargo vans. Their 4.3l V6 is solid and adequately powerful, the 4L60E transmission is reliable, there's a ton of space in the back with enough height to load 4' tall sheet materials that are standing on edge, and to sit down in front of a bolted-down workbench, and the longitudinal RWD layout has advantages, they're even fairly easy to work on when something inevitably wears out, the deck height is low, and they're small enough to drive through a fairly normal parking garage without worry and to fit into a tight space. They're pretty awesome (except maybe for safety and fuel economy, but perhaps those aren't my primary concerns), and they solve a particular set of problems very well. But they aren't being made anymore, and haven't been made for over 20 years. I own one example of a GMC Safari that I'd like to get working well again some day and maybe kit out in some interesting way, but I'm absolutely not going to suggest that anyone buy a fleet of them to use in business because: They, like Optane, are EOL'd. All of them that will ever be produced have already been made. --- "So can you explain to me again why you think we should be buying used, old parts for our new datacenter? I know you've told me before, but still not sure that I have the same perspective as you do."
