Or converting between priority levels or users that were under your product. If you ran a large enough service, there was also begging your users for spare quota or warning them that their recent donation couldn't be fully deployed because a necessary change in some secondary borgcfg template had eaten into the service's resources, so it would help everybody if they knew anyone with a few cores laying around...

By the way, do you happen to be the jwb that filed a... creative BT quota request?

Hah, I was the one that played along and made you keep going ("May you be gifted with a long, healthy life and an exquisite taste in ties"?). And I think SAD was one of the teams that occasionally helped us find resources in this or that cluster, along with Analytics and, later, Social.
