This is a big decision, but we might want to consider migrating eugeni out
of kvm4 in the short term.
This server is highly critical: it handles incoming mail and mailing
lists, and any downtime on that server is felt quickly by everyone in the
Tor project.
Even though the gnt-fsn server is over-provisionned, it is technically
more reliable than a single machine like kvm4 because it has redundant
nodes. We might be able to afford the extra space to host eugeni right
now.
The risk, of course, is that eugeni is an old server that is very
important infrastructure. Migrating it might be tricky. For example its IP
address might be hardcoded in a bunch of places, and moving it to the gnt-
fsn will mean changing that IP address.
Such an IP change might also affect its reputation with other mail
servers, making mail delivery even harder than it already is.
But we have to cross that bridge anyways with the new SMTP delivery
service in #30608.
