If they truly are a burden to maintain, perhaps, but the assets, I
think, are one of the things holding the community together. As much
as I believe in the power of friendship (a great deal) being able to
cooperate and do things easily is crucial for working together towards
a common goal.

The only complaint I might have is that in some cases the assets do
not better the community. E.g. donated PowerPC instances. They're
free; I contacted OSU, not knowing what else to do, and they offered
the project a blank check. Maybe they can't be given out to everyone,
and maybe it is true (it is) that I am not to be trusted with
anything. But using GCC's POWER machines is rather difficult. There
are lots of friends, which makes things cozy.
