99.9% is far too unreliable for something so fundamental as whether you can run programs on your own computer, especially when the downtime is unscheduled and occurs in the middle of the day.

It should be at least five nines, preferably six nines. Anything less than that is absolutely inexcusable.

It's indeed interesting how on one side cloud computing is supposed to be reliable and scalable, but then one of the largest and richest corporations which also runs their own cloud storage fails to keep such an essential service running. I don't claim to understand every part of such an OCSP system, but I expect a reliable fallback when millions of devices worldwide assume a 100% uptime.
