Perhaps the best way to deal with that problem is to wait and see if it actually happens. In the past NANOG has carried a lot of these outage reports during a time when the net was less reliable than it is today. It didn't overwhelm the list back then. I would assume that because of the level of effort that operators put into having resilient networks, there would not be a huge amount of these outage reports because most real outages will remain invisible to customers. --Michael Dillon
