Ok. Sure But shouldn't they have some beta/staging/test area they could deploy to, run tests for an hour then do the global blast?

Config changes are distinctly more difficult to have that set up for and as the blog says they’re working on it. They just don’t have it ready yet and are pausing any more config changes until it’s set up. They just did this one in response to try to mitigate an ongoing security vulnerability and missed the mark.
I’m happy to see they’re changing their systems to fail open which is one of the things I mentioned in the conversation about their last outage.
