@soatok yep. And wouldn't it be better for (nearly) everyone if individual sites or services had occasional issues rather than building single points of failure in to huge swaths of global infrastructure while entrenching monopolies?

@SciPolTech
Absolutely not. If your site is down and no one else's is, you'll be blamed.

If everyone's down? No probs!
