No disagreement. It is merely *a* way, and, popping back to the original

Source control, assuming the traditional server implementation, is one

solution where the backup is protected

If that were the extent of this discussion, then the answer would be obvious.
There was a fire in the office, three desks away from mine last week during

If my computer had either caught fire, or been exposed to too much water

I think tasking the IESG to look at how to reduce the time commitment
would be an incredibly good idea. I'd feel a lot more comfortable with
the community giving the IESG clear guidance that we'd like them to
solve that problem than with the community trying to come up with the
solution.

As recently as ten years ago the third fastest supercomputer offered
12 Teraflops and 12Tb of storage. Today the same can be bought for
$6,000.
A Raspberry Pi casts $35 and has the same performance as the
