Yes, if CrowdStrike was following industry best practices and this happened, it would teach us something novel about industry practices that we could learn from and use to reduce the risk of a similar scale outage happening again.
If they weren't following these practices, this is kind of a boring incident with not much to be learned, despite how dramatic the scale is. Practices like staged rollout of changes exist precisely because we've learned these lessons before.
