I've been toying with the idea of self-hosting a lot of services. Email isn't one of them. However, I *can* host everything else that has caused me to sign up for the 2Tb plan at Google. Photos, documents, spreadsheets, files, etc. And this will be a big reason why I will go to all that effort.
Screen capture from Google Maps, incorrectly labeling "Lake Ontario" as "Lake America".  Google preemptively capitulated when the Orange Furzgeruch declared that the lake's name should change.  

I've read that the change in Maps was triggered automatically by a change in the USGS database.  Maybe so, maybe so.  However, neither  MapQuest not Apple Maps have changed (yet).
