I'm guessing there will be 0 in 1000 KR's certified for IFR flight. You should never find yourself in a situation where, if your "glass panel" fails, you can't look out the window and get airspeed, altitude, and directional information. A simple stand alone backup GPS can also provide that info. When I got my Ifly700 I left the old Lorance 500 in the KR for just that info. My security blanket would be a backup artificial horizon.
