Tom,

Rest assured I'll defend public infrastructures up until cold. Though 
I'm always on for a good joke, and just wanted to point out induced 
dependencies that weakens most IT setups.

What worries me is unforeseen consequences of the small pieces of 
infrastructure or software that everyone took for granted, and that 
could just vanish overnight, over a targeted attack or geopolitical 
situation for example.

Sorry if it looked like a real suggestion. The world is so trumped by 
idiocracy it's getting harder and harder to distinguish satire from the 
truth.

Better assume stupid than malignant ©®™ Hanlon.

Best regards,
