Sounds like we could expect that the testdata will never get wiped but replaced on every node?
If so it could definitely be interesting for SNO like me with spare disk shelves laying around in order to order some new disks and spin up new nodes?
I mean cmon the fact that you talk about to spin up some surge nodes sounds more like a “call to action” for me 
I am pretty sure im note the only one SNO who could easy bring up hundreds of TB if we know it is worth it so just let us know about the signed contract :>
In the meantime i will clean up the good old NetApp DS4246 just in case…
