In Pablo's unfortunate incident, it was because of a SAN incident, so it's
possible that Replica 3 didn't save him.
In this scenario, the architecture is more the origin of the incident than
the number of replicas.

It seems to me that replica 3 exists, by default, since firefly => make
replica 2, this is intentional.
So I'm not sure if adding a warning (again) is necessary.

For HDD, apart from special cases (buffer volume, etc.), it is difficult to
justify Replica 2 (especially on platforms several years old).
However, I'd rather see a full flash Replica 2 platform with solid backups
than Replica 3 without backups (well obviously, Replica 3, or E/C + backup
are much better).
