I've got no knock on the status page. Cloudflare is disappointed in the lack of notification from their data center provider, and Cloudflare customers are disappointed in the lack of notification from their service provider.

Instead of defending what was done and calling that good enough, Cloudflare should use this as an opportunity to commit to reevaluating the strategy for customer outreach during major service failures. If that's what Cloudflare expects from its service providers, that's what Cloudflare should provide to its customers.
