Does any of this fall directly onto your shoulders in the long-term?  I
mean, where is the new LG hosted, and are you looking, for, over time,
people to potentially need to support you financially?  In other words, even
through best of intentions, do you foresee a T.R scenario in the making?
It's best to ask now, rather than assume later on, this might crop up.

I am almost hoping though, in situations such as this, that our mirroring
services will/can serve as automated backup, although I appreciate the
mirrors expect a known location through DNS each time to fetch new editions
of LG.

Basically, if any of this is an apparent problem for you, Ben, sooner,
rather than later, you need to say now.   Lest forever hold your peace.   :)
