+
+From a developer point of view, 3 years is very long, especially when
+you have to maintains code or packages and the upstream don't help.
+
+From my own experience of busy sysadmin, server are replaced less often.
+We buy server with 3 year warranty, some of them have 5 years.
+But I think we all have servers running older than that we don't
+especially want to replace right now (Re-installing distrib-coffee is
+not so easy...).
