Description
### Value Prop
GitHub Enterprise Server is removing an unused service, Node Eligibility Service (NES), to keep the platform lean and well-maintained. This cleanup reduces unnecessary complexity in your self-hosted environment without affecting any customer-facing functionality.
### Expected Outcome
Retiring this service eliminates dead code and maintenance burden that provided no customer value.
