I'd like to see all of moray's functions transferred to the new
hardware, and moray retired. If flame runs on a machine dedicated to
flame, it's not going to survive for very long - people will rip the
hardware apart, or just not bother fixing it as soon (or ever) if it
fails. A P100 with 32Mb of RAM is way gruntier than moray is now, it
would improve things all round...
