From Why Valetudo[0]:

  First of all, please do not try to convince people to use Valetudo.

  We all know how terribly it usually turns out when people try to
  convince their friends to use linux on their desktop. Using Valetudo
  only makes sense if you understand its goals and feel like they are
  important to you. Everything else will fail.

  It is perfectly fine to continue using the cloud if you don’t really
  care about its downsides. Do not flame people for doing that. You 
  can be a bit snarky about downtimes, lag and other cloud shenanigans
  though :)
