For my part I have no real interest in outsourcing this. It's too
important and if we get screwed at some point, we likely find we don't own
anything about ourselves.
There's not much overhead in doing it ourselves to be saved, and even if
they're all angels they're going to create overhead for us that's likely to
be at least equal to whatever is saved.
