Clément Goubert and everybody,
I analyzed https://stream.wikimedia.org/v2/stream/recentchange and i
have the another results.
Last change (before migration): 2023-03-01T14:00:30
First change (after migration): 2023-03-01T14:02:05
Result: Down time (14:00:31 to 14:02:05) is 94s.
I think that analysis is more authoritative. I think it analyzes based
on something like REQUEST_TIME in PHP.
