The outages are letting people know that they're on thin ice. This is far better than doing a 3-day notice of "oh, sorry, we were cleaning up and realized no one was working on some project; no one cares internally, so you shouldn't either. good luck, have fun, so long, and thanks for all the fish^W^W^Wyour faithful patronage" and then being immortalized on something like the Google Graveyard[1], its sibling sites, or Our Incredible Journey[2]. Think of it as deprecation warnings for network services.
Oh, you did remember to check your error codes on external service communications, right?
