Sure. I noticed this at a hardwood flooring warehouse, in another life. In fields governed by science and stricture, however, the safety increase is effectively permanent.

Or the converse! Think of the way GOG sells DRM-free installers -- GOG sells you a license, sure, just like everyone else, but they give you a DRM-free installer, which is bit-perfect to the version of that installer shared on the Pirate

I myself have a pretty low bus factor, but I'm pretty sure if I were bus'd, the issues that would eventually crop up would be hard to solve because of the institutional knowledge that makes me bus-y at all. I suspect neither you n
