A lot of repositories and similar go offline randomly. It hasn't happened in a few months but usually the Microsoft package mirrors go past their Azure limits and I get reminders.

This is like the third or fourth time this has happened to them.

The Manjaro team has also caught flak for a bunch of other stuff. There's a page or two our there that detail the issues, which I'm too lazy to link here.

But let's just say this isn't their first rodeo.

Going to play devil's advocate and say that they make minimal to no revenue off of their website so it being down is not a huge deal.

It's exactly the opposite to what happens if the the main ad server for a company in the ad serving business looks at things.

Or another example:

From an inventory management perspective, it's ok to be out of stock for low margin items b/c the opportunity cost is low.

How much revenue they make doesn't matter if it impacts users. Prospective users need to be able to see what they are getting and download and verify ISOs from the team.

I despise ZorinOS for what they are doing in many ways that violate software licenses, but one thing they got right is charging users and being somewhat accountable to their userbase.

Agreed. This is not the first time Manjaro has made a boneheaded mistake, nor will it be the last. This is just the most recent.

The page is pretty nitpicky with its issues. There is only 1 that was actually something to concern over iirc.
