Erasure coding can easily halve the cost. Running out of money is often
a much more likely threat than "an error in implementation/process/..."

Once again, it is important to base these discussions on an explicit
threat model. Perhaps Michal's threat model excludes budgetary threats.
If so, many of us will be very jealous, especially given the US
administration's proposed budget.
