This is one of the classiest outage apologies I've ever seen. No beating around the bush, no playing it down: "This was a long, terrible outage that cost our customers money." If you're gonna have an unscheduled outage, at least apologize the right way. (P.S. 5.5m PVs in 110 minutes is a little over 800 req/sec. That's much lighter than I would have expected from the entire Wordpress.com empire, but I guess it was the middle of the day rather than prime-time)
