I don't want to give too much credit to Github, because their uptime is truly horrendous and they need to fix it. But: I've felt like its a little unfair to judge the uptime of company platforms like this; by saying "if any feature at all is down, its all down" and then translating that into 9s for the platform.

I never use Github Copilot; it does go down a lot, if their status page is to be believed; I don't really care when it goes down, because it going down doesn't bring down the rest of Github. I care about Github's uptime ignoring Copilot. Everyone's slice of what they care about is a little different, so the only correct way to speak on Github's uptime is to be precise and probably focus on a lot of the core stuff that tons of people care about and that's been struggling lately: Core git operations, website functionality, api access, actions, etc.
