I guess none of us really needs those 9s, and even two 9s are just good enough. I even doubt whether *SOME* of the banking transactions really really really need those 9s too -- like, I don't really mind if 1 out of 100 credit payment doesn't go through so I have to do it again -- it does happen once for a while and I just swiped it again.

GitHub has a container registry. That going down can cause pod start failure. I agree the source code probably doesn't need infinite nines, but the container registry is different.

Which should not even be that hard, because read-only replicas of artifact repos are trivial to create and easy to loadbalance.
