Why is outage history pre-acquisition removed from their history? If you try to go back in time it seems they only retain history up to a couple months after the acquisition. Is this just a 2 year retention policy or something being swept under the rug?
- jkaplowitz 6y agoI have never worked at Github or MS and have no inside info on this, but it may be as simple as having switched to a MS-run system for outage history tracking as part of their own M&A integration.

- CameronNemo 6y agoThis change must have happened this year. I remember comparing pre and post acquisition outage rates a few months ago. If it is not purposefully being swept under the rug, it sure is convenient.
- bdcravens 6y agoI think it's also worth noting that also corresponds with the Actions feature (went GA 11/11/19)

- mardifoufs 6y agoWow, it used to be so much more detailed! I get they probably can't have that level of "casual" disclosure now that they are so big, but man the current status updates just feel so... useless and unhelpful in comparison.
