Not sure why I was down-voted for this, it's a direct copy-paste of the service status page which a) may not be accessible to everyone and b) often has old information removed.

Being a direct copy and paste of th page linked to the thread without additional explanation is probably why it was downvoted.

... there's a pretty damn good explanation given in the comment actually

and it's pretty obvious regardless: status pages are highly transient. it's probably good to have a record of what's being discussed?
