Plan the retirement of lizard
Riseup is working on reducing costs by transitioning to new systems. This work will still take months to complete but lizard is a 12+ year-old power-hungry machine and soon will be the oldest machine in Riseup's racks.
→ We need a plan to retire lizard.

FTR, already retired, moved or planned:
- puppet: Puppet server -- Should be gone soon-ish (see %TPA-RFC-77: Tails and TPA Puppet codebase merge )
- jenkins: Jenkins orchestrator -- Move to fsn-libvirt-01.tails.net → team#42503
- bittorrent: Transmission for distributing Tails images -- retired → #18257 (closed)
