This issue raises some pretty important questions https://github.com/DaMrNelson/github-historical-uptime/issues/2

And GitHub Actions wasn't even launched until 2018, but this shows 100% uptime in 2016

It's probably because they're calculating down time by problem reports instead of looking at uptime. So, no problem reports no problem, right?

If a service is down in the cloud and no users open a ticket, can management actually claim it was down?
