But you're right, whether that constitutes as mission critical to you or I in our daily work has nothing to do with whether those SE devs and sysadmins consider it mission critical. Hope that helps clarify. | |

If we visited this site frequently and different things were just randomly broken, we'd think it sucks and might go somewhere else. The user experience can be just as important and critical part of the mission as serving the actual pages themselves. | |
