Maybe not top 100. But in case of top 20 outage, back-up witnesses in the top X should be ready and running an equally capable setup. Also you never know when @pumpkin will shell out a vote ;)
pumpkin most definitely wont move someone from top 100 to anywhere near top 20.
running an equally capable setup? at rank 30 i make maybe $35 a day right now with my witness. assuming 100% uptime and no lost votes, thats $12k a year. how many redundant 64-128GB servers with decent processors and network I/O do you suppose that could afford?
its not unreasonable to run a price feed outside top 20. but its also hardly required. perhaps you want to lose hundreds of dollars a month running multiple backups to have an "equally capable" system that the top 20 are expected to hold, but i wont.
