And ideally, it will never come to that.  Growth should be slow and
steady, and ideally if anyone starts offering us as default, they'll

My only concern would be if some Snowdon-level event happens and it has
to do with DNS, then maybe we would see a surge in users.  Probably not
10 million though.
