- Which operating system is used for which project and in which environment?
- Do we still have Debian Lenny?
- Which projects are to blame for this?
- Do we have applications where the operating systems used differ in staging and production?
- Which project uses which operating system version for which application?
- Which projects have homogeneous environments?
- Which projects are at a consistent patch level?
- How many RHEL 6 variants (6.1, 6.2, 6.3...) do we use?
