Do you work for AWS as well? If so, I'd ask that team AWS spend less time astro-turfing on HN, and more time documenting your systems, so we can assess these risks for ourselves.

For example, I haven't heard of any precautions taken against a thundering herd of clients retrying requests in other regions if us-east goes down. What does AWS have there? How much spare capacity do you run in each region?
