I had already made a similar point earlier in this thread: it was me who posted 
"I always use two backup methods these days because undetected failures are 
laughably common..."

The same logic applies to end-of-life'd cloud services, where most of the time 
you get a heads-up that such action will be taken in the future. Seizures are 
pretty rare.
