I was hoping Rockstar would do the opposite and wipe all of the servers once they were stable. While some players would be upset I think the majority of players would like to see the ones that got out in front by unfairly exploiting mission

I got a raspberry pi to see if I could replace a noisy htpc with Raspbmc. It worked a lot better than I anticipated but I found that I was sacrificing speed for the 'cool' factor of running it on a Pi so I ended up going back to a
