@rrix so, I think for a lot of types of services, there is a benefit to having a small number of instances of that type of service.

If those instances need to share data, like for a shared blocklist service, they can share with a limited number of well-known peers. This is harder with thousands of instances.

@rrix In terms of numbers of implementations, having people split their effort across a lot of implementations means getting a lot of half-baked cakes instead of a few fully baked ones.
