Another variation, if you're thinking about cloud infrastructure today: you could pretty easily make your own faux PLaneT server that either is for a single app or takes the identity/profile of the app as part of the URL the app uses to access the PLaneT server. The faux server can be a tiny H

I was against it for similar reasons, but the question is whether there's a technical point that makes it a bad choice. As for making errors: I changed my mind when I though about the symmetry argument -- using the same argument, I'd expect to do the exact same kind of mistakes with functions, but
