Single points of failure are bad

While I'm unaware of Cloudflare acting in an objectionable manner, the widespread use of Cloudflare has long caused me a great deal of nervousness, and this sort of thing is one of the reasons why.

I think it's a mistake for so much of the internet to be so centralized. It's a huge part of why the internet has become so brittle.
