When status pages go bad

Dreamhost have unveiled a new outage page, powered by Wordpress.

I’m not sure which is worse, that there have been a number of outages recently, or that it’s become such a regular event now they need to have an entire site dedicated to outages with 14,000 different feeds?!

As one commenter states:

Hey, that’s awesome!!!1 - now get my site back online.

I think the natives have become a little restless and concerned at the recent spate of outages - pretty improvements to an outage system does not confidence create.
