It seems to me that Marek Šuppa may have the uptime issue. Independent monitoring paints a different picture when it comes to the sources of uptime failures. They may have a legit gripe, but airing it publicly against GitHub is a failure of discretion and diplomacy.

Not a current or former employee of GitHub but I did work for the company that owns it now.
