Yes, absolutely. We are committed to ensuring a proper phased transition
for existing hosts. Obviously, we will all need to be realistic about
this - we can't do 70 in one day.

No. Anyone with hardware less than 3 (or 5) years old should carry on
regardless, although of course, you might like to take advantage of the
new attractive pricing to locate an additional TTM somewhere in your
network...

Yes - 100%, this will not change.
