That statement doesn't reflect what I mean by being complimentary. 
Basically, in my eyes, that means:

If OpenLink decides to invest in servers and admin to create the 100% 
illusion (as exemplified by the likes Google etc.) then LD Fragments 
would serve no use?

I see LD Fragments as a useful compliment, even if DBpedia's SPARQL 
endpoint had what you would perceive as 100% uptime.

Which has more to do with what's happening to Virtuoso (from time to 
time), and less to do with the notion of a scalable and high 
availability  SPARQL endpoint.

You do understand that we offer DBpedia deployment services to the 
world, gratis. We could always make a 100% uptime premium service with 
an SLA (Service Level Agreement).

You continue to conflate misunderstanding of our DBpedia terms of a 
service with a fundamental DBMS science issue.

Having a SPARQL endpoint, at web-scale, supporting ad-hoc queries is a 
specific DBMS science challenge, for which we've always had an answer.

Anyway, I am going to have a DBpedia report prepared, and posted to the 
appropriate forums. Clearly our silence seems to be encouraging you to 
push confusing and inaccurate memes.

As I've told you at every turn, LD Fragments can be useful, in a 
complimentary way, to DBpedia and other Linked Open Data projects. What 
you don't have to do is make the notion of Web-scale SPARQL endpoints 
the target.

Can't we all just get along, without distracting in fighting? We are all 
trying to make this Linked Open Data aspect of the World Wide Web a 
reality, right?
