Yeah. Situations like Australia’s certainly help a lot, but there’s a very non-linear relationship between churn and repair bandwidth anyway. The difference in repair bandwidth usage between nodes that are online 95% of the time to 96% of the time is much more than the difference between 96% to 97%. If nodes are offline a bunch, the amount of bandwidth required for maintenance will be astronomical. Over a wide-area network, there’s simply only so much you can do.
