What if they offered a window of opportunity for recently-expired GPUs? Whatever the off-season is for F/C utilization, allow you to use expired GPUs during just that period. Basically you'd trade in the unused ones for new ones with the limitations. Might be a nice revenue-enhancement trick and make us feel like they're offering us a second chance.
