And how exactly does this help us in the event of say the OSL burning down or the GNi suffering flooding? :) My point was simply that I think we would be wise to research whether there is the possibility of spreading our critical infrastructure a bit better so that in the event of an Act of God or suchlike we wouldn't find ourselves losing everything to, say, water damage. I agree, adding a line to the social contract won't magically send our servers across the world and into the homes^Wdatacenters of hundreds of wonderful new sponsors. Would be nice if it did though!
