LOCKSS is definitely a giant in this field, and David Rosenthal (who wrote the paper I linked as well) is great.
But LOCKSS occupies a small niche. My hope is really that at some point a commercially-focused project with a ton of engineering effort and battle testing behind it will displace a lot of what LOCKSS has had to do manually. Seems like that might happen as web services get more and more distributed and fault-tolerant.
