I agree, but I also make no apology for suggesting the option of
getting someone else to do some of the work. In this case, it can be
rejected for the exact reason you cite (dependencies are a cost, and
in this case way too high a cost), and that's fine and correct.
Ultimately, if the job gets done, everything else is implementation
detail, with consequences - and I know a lot of people who'll
willingly sacrifice "reliability in the face of an internet connection
outage" in favour of "less than fifteen second response time". Hence
my suggestion, albeit couched in "might be" and "something to
consider". :)
