ctive developer team would question the code quality. Every code goes trough audits and runs on the test net first before people even consider to make the amendment. Still bugs happen and if you look at the change logs [1] you can see bug fixes are common for each new release. Most of these bug fixes dont affect the ledger logic but are just bugs in the node software. So funds can not be lost but in a worst case scenario it could temporary halt the network if such a bug crashes multiple nodes at the same time. [1] https://github.com/ripple/rippled/releases >At what point is switching to a more classical database both worth the increase in efficiency by several orders of magnitude,.... Thats a strange question. That point "is reached" whenever you dont need a blockchain/distributed ledger but instead have situation where the whole system is run by one entity or by a few who have legal agreements with each other. Its like asking at what point you simply write data to a file instead of to a database. There are tons of config files out there and no one suggests that we instead use a database. So why would someone ever switch back from the database to a simple file? Its p much a made up situation that never happens. There must have been a reason to use a database and that reason would need to go away. Same for DLT. If you dont need it there is mostly no point in using it. There are a few exceptions for example you could use the XRPL to store tiny bits of data for communication between otherwise autonomous systems. The benefit here isn't blockchain/DLT tech but rather that fact that you dont need to maintain servers and the fact that the XRPL has probably the highest uptime of any public internet "storage" you could use. If that is critical then it may be a valid reason. You get the 5 9s (99.999%) uptime that you simply can not buy for cheap anywhere. But again if you dont need any of the specific properties of a DL there is no point using it and comparing it to other tech with other properties.
