And how exactly does this help us in the event of say the OSL burning |
| 16 |
down or the GNi suffering flooding? :) |

My point was simply that I think we would be wise to research whether |
| 19 |
there is the possibility of spreading our critical infrastructure a bit |
| 20 |
better so that in the event of an Act of God or suchlike we wouldn't |
| 21 |
find ourselves losing everything to, say, water damage. |

I agree, adding a line to the social contract won't magically send our |
| 24 |
servers across the world and into the homes^Wdatacenters of hundreds of |
| 25 |
wonderful new sponsors. Would be nice if it did though! |
