Is this from the same W3C that has been pushing us all since 2013 to upload our locally hosted files to one of 3 major cloud providers who just happen to be megadonors to W3C? Funny now that we have to send our personal files across the internet. I wonder what the sustainability "under/over" is gonna be when I have to send packets around the world to retrieve the files that used to live on my computer.

Are you suggesting we'd use less energy and materials if we stored things on physical media and when we needed to share something we send a physical copy via snail-mail or courier?
I'm confused by this comment and the accompanying link. This is a wiki page that was created in 2013 and hasn't been touched since. It contains no recommendations, just some random thoughts that look like they were written spur of the moment and then forgotten about.
Oh, and it starts with a giant disclaimer that says "This Wiki page is edited by participants of the RDWG. It does not necessarily represent consensus and it may have incorrect information or information that is not supported by other Working Group participants, WAI, or W3C. It may also have some very useful information."
Do you have anything else to point to to suggest that the W3C is "pushing us all since 2013" towards 3 cloud providers?
