I was running the online reliability tool and hit a weird result.<div><br></div><div>If you take the default numbers and change the report_span from 5Y to 50Y the unmaintained numbers get better over time. At 17 years we have a 60% of losing data, but by the end of the period the probability drops to 2%.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I assumed these numbers are the expectation that I file would last to that period, but it looks more like the derivative of that and just gives the odds that a file will be lost in each 3M period.<div>
