That is an interesting question. Conrad's hosting operation is an
extreme case, certainly. But consider two independently operated VPS
relays in the same Digital Ocean data center, with arbitrarily similar
IP addresses. And consider that both are vulnerable to compromise by
Digital Ocean staff. Should they be part of the same family?

Well, any VPS provider has access to relay keys. FDE even is pointless
on VPS, because the host can trivially bypass it.
