MediaTemple Nameservers Down

Half my public infrastructure is down. It could have been a 100%, but I separated private and business systems last month. Lots of people use MT because their email and DNS logic is solid. So this is pretty serious for them. Media Temple was broken into a while back via a Wordpress bug and people wonder if this is related to that event (HN really needs a "related news" button). <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2462774" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2462774</a><p>MT also did a hardware upgrade yesterday. So they are probably a little stressed right now. <a href="http://status.mediatemple.net/" rel="nofollow">http://status.mediatemple.net/</a>

Umm, so?<p>I mean, seriously, I'm not trying to be an arse about it or something, but why should the hacker population at large give a damn that "some customers [of MediaTemple] will see interruptions to Web, Mail, and FTP services".<p>Is it that essential a host? Is everyone here hosting something there? I mean, I'm sure it's a popular host and everything, but should there be a post every time some hosting service gets a bit of a hiccup? If so, we might as well rename this site "Hosting status news".
