Speaking on behalf of a non-profit (OSU Open Source Lab) that uses a lot of older generation systems to support our infrastructure, I too am concerned about moving the v3 base line as a requirement for EL10. Our hardware budget is very limited so getting newer generation systems can take quite a bit of time or just luck (someone decides to donate gear).

If there's a way to make this work both ways, that would be great.

Hi Phil,

I accept that you would be for the v3 base line, however the v3 base line would obliterate the 3 system home lab. I entered the home lab community in the last 2 years at most, the Dell PowerEdge R620 are my very first home lab servers. What’s more they were gifts.
