Very true. However, life is shades of gray, never black & white.

Many of the applications that run on my boxes are vendor applications.

Some are vendors that do not even exist any more.

I have a limited staff (2) and resources to manage > 50 production servers.

Given that fact, I only worry about the ones that are taking a major time to run once or take a medium time but run many times.

In short, I kill the large elephants but a lion or two might still be out there.

But if they do not bother anyone, I do not worry about them.

Good luck in your endeavors!
