also I never had considered that breaking your up-time into a bunch of different components is just a strategy to make your SRE look better than it actually is. The combined up-time tells the real story (88%!). Thanks for the link

The number of nines assigned to a suite of services is not indicative of the quality of SRE at any given company, but rather a reflection of the tradeoffs a business has decided to make. Guaranteed there's a dashboard somewhere at Github looking at platform stickiness vs. reliability and deciding how hard to let teams push on various initiatives.

this is fair. I should have just said "Site Reliability", as it's almost certainly out of the engineers control.
