I'm aware of that possible failure mode. It's why I designed in a
three-way fanout. The Loadsharer pledge strongly encourages its
takers to to find and sponsore *three* LBIPs.

There is no one list, by design. That would be a single point of failure.
Each adviser keeps his or her own list. Loadsharers choose which
advisers to pay attention to.
