You have reduced the scale of your exchange system to a size where the bad
points of BLBs have not yet reared up and bit your mythical scenario admin.
That still doesn't make BLBs a good idea, in the same way that one hit of
heroin probably won't kill you, but it still might not be a good idea to
take some.
I could send all of your users a bunch of large emails (say 5 emails of
100mb to all 5 users) and your single-instance-storage-breaking BLB backup
isn't quite so elegant anymore.
