You may be correct, for some very specific use cases. No matter how much corporate clients want to holler, a few hours of downtime isn't going to hurt anyone.

I know I'd rather someone else do it, then having to drive 2 hours away to a data center at 4:00 in the morning. But I don't know exactly what you're working on , I definitely can't imagine some use cases where a few hours of down time is just unacceptable. I know I wouldn't want to run a logistics firm with servers that go down all the time.
