    We want to have less, not more, dependence on Cloudflare.

    Single point of failure, for both technical and political failures.

      Cloudflare wants all dependence on Cloudflare they can get.

        I agree with both you and the person you’re responding to.

          Same, but the real question is how. At this point, the things they are proposing are genuinely useful for the environment that we are finding ourselves in? How does one even begin to allow for less dependency here without appropriate substitute/mitigation for what cloudflare renders relatively painless.

            One remembers that during the vast stretch of time that Cloudflare wasn't offering the new whiz-bang service, one was doing just fine in one's endeavors.

            If one is fine with CloudFlare being the MITM for most of the Internet, then this doesn't matter at all to you. But if that or any other aspect of how CloudFlare does business and what their capabilities allow them to do concerns you, then that's how one begins.
