I'd say that the situation is closer to that with the Debian machines
such as lists.debian.org, which used to run qmail (essentially because
at the time it was felt that there was no free software really up to the
volume). While the existing setup was doing the job well enough there
was a substantial pressure to move over to a free alternative because it
seemed silly for a strong free software advocate like Debian to use
non-free software.
