I totally agree with that. The current reasoning is to put unused resources into service. I got in touch with Thomas to discuss possible approaches of validating snapshots. If something comes to your mind in regards to methods of validation, drop me a note. I will try to think of methods for a validation script and do some testing. (If successful, it can be used as a mechanism in core wallet as well to offload servers with DNS round-robin or similar mechanisms).

At the moment it's not a big problem but in future it might become. I think It could be a worth having in back of the mind and have a discussion as a low priority.
