Well, I still think that the content will be kept in some
way or another (as the minimum on my personal backup CD ;-)
So nothing will be actually *lost*. It's more a question of
*accessibility*.

As far as I can see (I have no practical experiences with it):

Pro's:
- zero administration (i.e. no admin efforts and no one has to take responsibility)
- easy to setup and feed it
- it's already running for some time (i.e. proven)
- it's free

Con's:
- zero administration (e.g. no possibility to change anything archived)
- no guarantees, no service and no support
- not customizable

Unless someone can come up with another solution this is
probably the best (well, and the only) way to go ...
