I don't want to get into the debate about this again, but tools is considered "semi-production" which is a smaller set of nines. We're reasonably staffed and have a well designed enough infrastructure to properly support that, but it's not the case for "production"-level support. The specific discussion about levels of support was for a service that should be supported by WMF in production since it has uptime requirements that we aren't scoped to handle.<br>

If we did an analysis of tools project outages vs toolserver, I'm positive our level of unscheduled downtime would be far lower than toolserver's.<br>
