I don't think there is anything wrong with T at H dedicated ROMA servers
as long it is clear to a potential user that its data is incomplete
and meant to be for T at H only.

They probably should run behind their own load balancer called
roma.tah.openstreetmap.org or so.  And they should include a comment
in their data about the fact.

Especially if someone is running his own private ROMA for his render
farm filtering the data is an interesting option.  One just has to be
careful not to be filtering too agressively or it will miss some data
when rendering rules are changed.
