The end application is going to drive the definition of what is
critical.  The means of providing that application becomes the
infrastructure.

If all I care about is a jabber session, I can get by with 9.6k.
If I need to move pictures and video, my needs are not as modest.
This thinking implies that every set of circumstances could require
a unique set of critical infrastructure in a worst case scenario.

So -- how do you christen any piece more "critical" than the other?
