Exactly this. If you're a massively parallel web service, who cares about some GCs, and who cares about crashing like 0.01% of all transactions? Monitor it, crash it, fix it, deploy it, move on.

If you operated a nuclear reactor with this mentality, I'd be concerned. If you're operating acme.org with that mindset... godspeed?

If you're running amazon.com with that mindset, 0.01% of transactions is millions of dollars a day.

If you're running amazon.com, a project that takes 2 weeks longer to complete is hundreds of millions of dollars of lost sales.
