        - need to have file servers up before the clients
        - in practice, clients exist on same machines as file servers, so
          you're going to lose no matter what

          automatically, or delay their startup

    - fiasco taken care of
    - we can keep the feed, using it for research, no reason to take it down

        - it's kind of cool
- Contrib takedown requests
    - general opinion seems to be
        - respond to takedown requests where it was original creator, or ISO
          making the request
        - don't takedown when other person (not original creator) makes
          request, not our authority to censor folks
    - it's not possible to authenticate these requests in most circumstances
        - can via email if still have Andrew account, or set forwarding

            - no, sorry to hear you think that, I'm the head of trademark
              mumble...
            - we were grandfathered in, until they decide otherwise
