Is it actually necessary to run transcontinental consensus? Apps in a given location are not movable so it would seem for a given app it's known which part of the network writes can come from. That would require partitioning the namespace but, given that apps are not movable, does that matter? It feel like there are other areas like docs and tooling that would benefit from relatively higher prioritization.

Apps in a given location are extremely movable! That's the point of the service!

We unfortunately lost our location with not a whole lot of notice and the migration to a new one was not seamless, on top of things like the GitHub actions being out of date (only supporting the deprecated Postgres service, not the new one).
