I can go back all the way to 2010: https://imgur.com/DsSKcFV

Wow, it used to be so much more detailed! I get they probably can't have that level of "casual" disclosure now that they are so big, but man the current status updates just feel so... useless and unhelpful in comparison.

I have never worked at Github or MS and have no inside info on this, but it may be as simple as having switched to a MS-run system for outage history tracking as part of their own M&A integration.

I think they switched to Atlassian StatusPage[1] a while ago.

This change must have happened this year. I remember comparing pre and post acquisition outage rates a few months ago.

If it is not purposefully being swept under the rug, it sure is convenient.

I think it's also worth noting that also corresponds with the Actions feature (went GA 11/11/19)
