What happened to the AMD systems which were heating up my

Those machines are owned by IBM. IBM would be happy to donate them
to the ASF. However, they then become a potential support
annoyance/headache/migraine for Infra. IIUC, it's simpler, more
manageable, etc to buy new, standard hardware and roll it into
mainstream ASF infrastructure.
Um... that is not what I had understood, I was under the impression
that AMD donated them to the Geronimo project for TCK mucky muckski.
AMD donated them to Geronimo. They are "owned" by the project.
They could have been donated for use by Geronimo or GBuild. However,
they can't be "owned" by Geronimo. The Geronimo project can't own
anything... The ASF can own things, but not individual projects.
I have no problems with someone/something donating the machines to the
ASF. However, I doubt they want them. They would become an admin
liability for ASF Infra.
