Hey - it is after noon somewhere and I'm often drinking a bier in the afternoon.
Like today. ;)

Very true.

It was a general comment, not aimed in any direction. I do have some work
experience dealing with old, but working, equipment - about 7 yrs full-time.

(300) $100 devices ($30K total) isn't a small amount of money. If you and the
other decision makers considered FTE, HW costs and lost opportunity costs then
came up with the plan to make Cent7 work on these devices, great.  However,
knowing when there isn't any more time to put into the effort and switching to a
different plan would also be smart.  15 minutes to run some what-if scenarios
and cost modeling SWAGs for other options can't hurt.

Beer-o-clock here. ;)
