Of course such decisions are always political. But now with Google backing EPYC Rome, there is the political risk of not switching, and finding yourself in the Stone Age 5 years from now.

There's a lot more incentive to explore EPYC than there was a day ago.

What if Google did not include that very old legacy code during their evaluation process?

And exactly what kind of risk are you taking about?

If switching is as easy as you claim it is, you can still do so next year or the year after.
