Comment 24 for bug 435193

I suppose, but if a production-critical server had been unreachable this long at my workplace, I would have been fired a long time ago.

Don't get me wrong, I really, really, really like Ubuntu, but when something like this happens, it reflects badly on Ubuntu, and Canonical as a whole. Canonical is trying to position itself as an "enterprise" operating system vendor. When they can't keep their own services up, it just looks really, really bad. If I was in a manager's shoes, I would have serious doubts about the quality of work coming out of a company that can't even keep its own servers up and running.
