I would have thought that these companies that are richer then $GOD would have (virtual) instances of at least the previous stable version available for situations such as this. It would at least keep their damn doors open and internal communications systems going... Maybe they'll NOW think of such things? What's the cliche, penny wise and pound foolish? Or is it, no need to listen to experienced Network Designers? I can never remember...

most of what they do, they do with in house tools, and custom-everything, including hardware. as a consequence, for some classes of problems there are no experts - not at facebook, not anywhere. i feel for their netops people. uncharted territory with the whole world watching and, no doubt, a lot of morons from management trying to be "helpful" in getting this nice crisis resolved. for any crisis there is always a bunch of clowns with MBAs that consider it their golden opportunity to shine (nearly always at someone elses expense)
