I disagree here. Having a _stable_ (fallback) network access,
especially when shifting around larger files, is very convenient. I'm

serious long-term wireless outage is low. How much are you willing to
pay in order to reduce risk to 0% and to have your fallback network be
nice and convenient? IETF finances are not in good shape.
