Hello,

This may be a little wild, but what are the downsides to doing some

A mixed strategy could reduce ... the upfront cost of buying and hosting hardware (#1), the ongoing costs of renting (#2), and dependence on the
generosity of a third party for sponsored hardware & hosting (#3).

It seems like any strategy should have some redundancy (e.g. multiple
independent build farms) so that a failure in one datacenter does not
effectively take down the whole network...

<= div>That would be my opinion too.

... though they are not full replacements for each other.

Maybe that should be treated as a= bug/issue.
