Fixed in about 30m to an hour.

Definitely annoying, but I'll try the hot take that, contrary to popular belief, GH is not critical infrastructure - or so I hope.

Please tell me no part of the Ukrainian air defense system depends on a gh action hook.

You've heard of infrastructure as code, now presenting air strikes as code!

Need a new secret offensive operation? Create a new JSON file with the coordinates, make a merge request and get Commander approval, merge it, and our new proprietary GitHub action runner will deploy a drone in seconds!

This is far too simple. The correct way is to generate an NFT that's a screenshot from Google Maps of where you'd like to hit, and a blockchain-watching AI will spot it, figure out where you probably mean and send the coordinates to the fire control system.
When millions of man-hours are lost waiting for your service to be back up, I think that deserves a bit of resiliency.
It's not critical, but there's still a lot of reliance on it.

It's also the only reason why I still need IPv4.

The status page says things are still not fixed.
