FTA: "Your network configuration data is not lost or impacted - this issue is limited to user-uploaded data."

Errrrrrr... so the issue was limited only to data I would actually care about then? Or did I misread?

That is a frankly extraordinary use of weasel words.

Yeah, you misread. Configuration data is what makes the network actually work and that was preserved.
Fair enough. And I suppose that release was meant for people with an understanding of the product, in which case that makes more sense. Still... interesting choice of words. "Oh, it's only the user-uploaded data that we've lost."
I imagine that from Cisco's perspective the network configuration data is what's actually important. If your priorities are different then I suppose you should be more worried about this incident.
