For starters, I assume that the signer would run an automated script
that generated blocks on regular intervals without requiring manual
interaction. So even if the signer went on a vacation, the network
would keep on ticking. I also assume the signer would be running a
faucet service so users could get coins as needed. Ultimately though,
if a signer ended up vanishing or being unreliable, people would just
set up a new signet with a different signer and use that instead, so
ultimately it's not a big deal.
