This echoes my philosophy - my DropBox is ephemeral - when I'm gone (btw
nothing planned) the box will disappear. That is why encourage everyone
to keep their own copies. But then we also need a document repository
(or several repositories) someone that people can use to retrieve
documents. I doesn't hurt to use Google as one of the repositories to
start and then have copies.
Just my 6 pennies worth.

Makes sense to me... Google isn't going away anytime soon. Seems

Google does tend to apparently randomly decide that some "products"
(if you're not paying for it, you ARE the product!) are no longer
relevant and kills them off or lets them rot from semi-benign neglect.
I'd rather not find out that features we rely on for a group library
have either turned into a paid service or are going away with little
to no notice.
I think that something like the multiple distribution mirrors as used
(for example) for FreeBSD would be a better idea. I'll volunteer to
host the first site if desired - I have a nice system with a 10GbE
connection to the Internet backbone.
