I'm not sure that the person who submitted this could have considered the fact that the service has now been restored, regardless of how imminent the restoration was.

It's an interesting event (albeit it relatively low impact one) which we would not have known about if it wasn't posted here. Also, check out the wikimedia service status page, pretty cool, huh?

Indeed. I not only find it impressive how honest it is (as opposed to others[1]) but also how quickly they resolved the event.

The incident took ten minutes to resolve. What's the point of immediately rushing to HN whenever a large website is transiently down?
