I'd like to think Engineering do a pretty good job at uptime for core

Wikipedia uptime is certianly much better these days than it was around
2005/6 when there were at least two websites dedicated to reporting its
status. Back then it wasn't uncommon to experience major slowdowns,
periods of non-responsiveness, extended read only periods and edits
failing (sometimes silently) due to (iirc) overloaded servers. I can't
remember the last time I saw anything like that, but it certainly wasn't
2013.
Btw it would be nice to have stats on uptime, or at least some
assessment of the progress for the "stabilizing infrastructure" 5 years
strategic goal. I couldn't find any recently, I asked both on mailing
lists and on Meta.
