Also, if any other developers (like Andreas, Johan, Bryan, etc) in this space want a big machine to test it on, I can probably equip you with one (or several). Since Rackspace is so gracious to us, we can immediately allocate high-powered, physical (i.e. not Xen, but real machines) machines to do high-scale testing on.[1]
In any case, it's not hard to do and only takes a few minutes, so Ben: let me know. (I've thought it would be neat to implement a leasing system somehow, where a developer could lease a few machines for a short period of time, at which point they expire and a background job cleans them up.)
I'd like to add to this; If there's demand to provide SSH accounts to MSYS2-environments for developing/testing GHC patches or generally debugging/fixing GHC issues occuring on Windows, we may be able to provide such (ephemeral) accounts. Cheers, hvr
