The non-existence of Gnu servers capable of hosting continuous
integration seems to be a big issue.

I'm trying to draw my straw to the stack but my servers are in my
cupboard. At least I have a decent UPS and decent bandwidth. My ISP
won't give me a fixed IP though.

As for longevity I seem to be destined to be an Emacs aficionado until I
acquire Alzheimer's.
