Well no - WMDE did inform WMF about this issue several times last year. It's hard for me to follow-up why the replacement didn't happen then and to me, it is more important to make it happen now.
ok, I tried to phrase it diplomatically. The truth would be that WMDE was not able to replace the broken hardware in >5 months, although I told them several times that it is broken and it is important. It doesn't really matter if WMDE just not cared, was busy or the WMF did not respond.
(And when I took over the coordination I wasn't aware that this still needs a follow-up because I thought Tampa was history which is obviously wrong.)
AFAIK you are a sys-op yourself. So all you needed to do was to look into our nagios, which would had told you that a.) amaranth is still active and b.) the hardware is still broken in it. Or you could have ask Nosy or me; or Sebastian.
