[volunteergrid2-l] Why high availability is crucial

[Billy Earney]

using the stats you provide:

20 servers: 35.8%
19 servers: 73.6%
18 servers: 92.5%
17 servers: 98.4%
16 servers: 99.7%
15 servers: 99.9%

there's not much difference between 15 and 16.  how about 8/16/16?  Or is an
uneven number beneficial?
