merkel has a full BTS mirror, and master's BTS mirror will be
discontinued relatively soonishly. Of course, for the BTS mail, this
makes no difference.
Other reasons are more beefier hardware as you already note (harddisk),
and that all other QA stuff is already on merkel too. The PTS could then
also be run under the qa user, makeing its maintainance easier, and
also, some of the scripts (like the bug statistics collection) can be
shared. And things like the excuses are generated by the other QA
scripts and can then be readily included in the PTS...
It reduces the number of data collection points: DDPO & PTS use largely
the same data.
