I do think Twitter is likely to crash. A machine can continue for a while if you stop maintenance, but at some point you'll run into a problem that needs intervention, and Twitter has lost enough of the people who know how things work that there's a good chance they'll have a serious outage.

I don't remember if I read it here or somewhere else, but someone noted that if you remove all the fire extinguishers from a building, the building will keep standing, but watch out when a fire starts.

Twitter in shambles is a very attractive target for firestarters. The conflagration would be epic.
