More servers to run bots on would be a good thing. From a technical point of
view, it would be better to have all of them in the same cluster, so user
accounts and secondary services (svn, jira, etc) can be shared and
administrative overhead is minimized.

The only reasons *not* to do that are political/financial. IF those could be
resolved, that would be great. If not, then yes, having another place to run
bots is still good.
