I imagine for the same reasons they bought the new library in the first
place (e.g. age of library, support/parts etc...) plus the added reason
that it takes up floor space in the data center.  Data center managers
often frown upon keeping old equipment "just in case" especially if
there isn't a lot of free space anyway.

Why not keep your old library for historical restores and put in your
new LTO-4 library for current and future backups/restores? Would be
easier and less trouble over time.  [Wink]
