Given how amateurish German IT operations is, there is no guarantee whatsoever there will be a post-mortem nor whether it then will make it out under 3-6 months with all the necessary approvals.

Bla bla, always easy to rant...

"Die Störung ist inzwischen behoben und alle Systeme laufen wieder stabil. Die genaue Ursache wird derzeit noch analysiert. Sobald belastbare Erkenntnisse vorliegen, wird DENIC diese transparent zur Verfügung stellen."

‘The disruption has now been resolved and all systems are running smoothly again. The exact cause is currently being investigated. As soon as reliable findings are available, DENIC will make them publicly available.’

Also always easy to announce "Sobald belastbare Erkenntnisse vorliegen, wird DENIC diese transparent zur Verfügung stellen." and then remain silent until the media forgets about the incident and never actually publish anything.

Sure, but they did publish this two days later:

Sounds like they will post more details later. Maybe this time you'll give them the benefit of the doubt?
