GHES is a massive monolith running dozens (hundreds?) of services in Nomad, so it's not surprising to me that GH has a hard time supporting it and wants folks to move away from it.
I'm tired of slow, risky, late-night upgrades to the appliance. I'm tired of sending support bundles and being told to run a customized string of MySQL commands to resolve peculiar issues. I'm tired of checking the roadmap and telling folks "yes, they announced that feature, but it won't be available to us for at least 12 months." I'm tired of a feature eventually being in the GHES release notes, only for GitHub to have made a mistake and it not be available for another two versions.
We're moving to GHEC. I'm concerned about the semi-frequent outages there, but we're not running HA GHES so it has become a liability for us.
