Sridhar says:

I agree with you to the extent that even without LV, there will be 
some bad things that happen - where does it not happen, but I think 
Goddlefrod's intent was about the crux of the series and not about 
other problems. Of course, only he can clarify that.

My point is while all the 3 mentioned may not be acceptable, they 
don't pose the kind of threat to the WW as LV. They neither have the 
power or the followers to endanger the whole WW.
