    I think it’s natural that there should be a small collection of large, production-class instances that host the vast majority of users. The important point is that there are more than a few, and certainly more than one.

    I also think it is important for instance admins to lay out their plan for how they intend to host and fund an instance if they intend to be production-class.

    We also need some kind of account backup and migration tool so that if an instance goes down, those users can easily recover on another instance.

    In an SSO scenario, your home instance would still need to be around to act as the IDP. I don’t think that adds much in terms of functionality over what we have now.

    The ability to backup and migrate your account is critical to prevent losing your data if an instance goes down. SSO wouldn’t help you in that scenario.
