sevice status - whats the point?

[Marc]

It always seems to say "all systems running" even when they're quite
obviously not..!

Greetings Marc,

It does change, but only when there is something widespread happening to the Messenger
service itself. For instance, if there's a small problem at Passport, it may not be
reflected there.

I agree... I dont see the point in a service status when it will only update
when the entire system is down. After all, it does say "ALL systems are
stable and running" so if some are down then that is inaccurate and
misleading. People won't know what is going on - something should be done
about it to reflect the ACTUAL status.
