Hell, I used to worry about down time for my tiny blog. Didn't want to let down my readers.

Everything can be a guilt trip if you try hard enough.

Then I met a guy, now a good friend, that made me do my first "pull the plug migration" on his most important website. He lived on this.

I looked at the site going down, horified. He mocked me, then proceeded with the udate. It didn't work. The site stayed offline for hours.

Then it worked again. And nobody cared. It had zero consequences on traffic.

User were pissed off for a few hours, and life goes on.
