And this is how all the services should work, at least from a monitoring
standpoint. If any public service (any of the websites, search,
archives, email, ftp, etc) goes down, multiple people should get pages.
Along those lines, disk space should also be monitored to make sure
nothing fills up.

And info is one of the other keys to keeping things running smoothly...
ISTM any changes in service/outages should certainly be posted someplace
where those monitoring things know what's going on.
