There's minimal splitting of services.  The tight integration between 
the services makes that nontrivial.  I recall some plans with more 
splitting of services, but I think Frank & Chris burnt out with the last 
upgrade before any of that could be done.

Word from Frank is that there's someone at the colo that will assess 
what memory is needed and try to scrounge some up.  If none can be 
found, it'll be ordered.  There are slots available for expansion.

It's a certainty we will need to upgrade that machine, the only question 
is when.  Given the amount of time an upgrade takes for the volunteers, 
I'm really hoping the extra memory gives us enough headroom to get 
through this year.

And yes, the year delay between delivery and setup of the new server was 
bad, very bad.
