Seconded. And if it's not meaningless to your operations, it is to many others'. We can be slightly inclusive here, for sites which are well enough known that an outage will be Big News, or we can split the list into a bunch of sublists which only contain certain types of outages, segregating it so that people who really only truly care about fiber and routing can only get fiber and routing outages. The bandwidth of discussion for the non-net/infrastructure stuff is low enough that it's not worth getting worked up about and splitting things, for me. Your mileage may vary, but we've now wasted more bandwidth on list arguing about Facebook being relevant than we actually have had notifications of website outages over the last year-ish, so I think that the point of diminishing returns has vanished behind us in the mirror. If those who object want an infrastructure-only outages list, please propose one. Or apply mail filtering or the D key. -- -george william herbert george.herbert@gmail.com
