I guess you mean sysadmin and engineer time, certainly not servers? I
don't necessarily buy that argument. You could also start them with
low priority on the existing farm to begin with.

It's a bit sad that the architecture doesn't really allow 3rd party
builders unless you're a Canonical employee. Otherwise the community
could just help with a bunch of servers, if that's really the problem
you're facing.

Kind regards
