I am committed to maintaining the stability of the data. You may treat
the current Agora database as stable as any other website on the
internet that is hosting your data.

Snippets, however, are not meant for long-term code sharing. Bundles
are the preferred method for that. Sadly, with our current hosting, the
bundle management isn't working as it should, so you may use snippets
for now, as a short-term solution.

I do need help with Agora maintenance. I'll be looking again soon at
changing its hosting so that it's more stable.
