You could, but I doubt Simon's going to lose a lot of sleep over it if he's wrong.
That's fine, except there's plenty of operations that don't have regular 'beer o'clock' hours. Like those services offered to people in other timezones, for example; it was definately still business hours in Europe.
I strongly suspect that those operations that care about "The Internet" working all the time (and are actually interested in throwing some money at the problem instead of QQing when their Serious Business residential-grade DSL breaks) are going to have done their maths to work out whether the cost of not having all their eggs in one basket is worth saving a few hours of downtime a year. Those that haven't done the maths might think about doing it now. -Mike
