I guess I thought NIP-29 left the door open to multi-relay groups, but rereading it I see that it doesn’t really. It says “fork the group so it exists in different forms -- still using the same id -- across different relays”. Still I think having backup relays or something seems necessary to deliver on the Nostr promise of being able to take your people and data and go to another server.

Backup relays are something I've thought about some. I even had them in some revisions of my relay-based groups: https://github.com/coracle-social/nips/blob/379b69c42b9db641e0c8383d5bfbd891ef4abaf4/29.md#federation https://github.com/coracle-social/nips/blob/60179dfba2a51479c569c9192290bb4cefc660a8/xx.md#federation But in most cases, the backups don't even need to be specified, since anyone with access to the main relay can sync events to their backup. Then, when the original relay goes away you just manually move to the new one.

Agree. My preference is going towards Communities as Keys, not Relays. A Community can then publish: - their main relay - their back up relays - their blossom set up - their price lists, guidelines, roles for people, ...
