You do realize that going by what you are saying.
If 503's weren't cached

I'm talking about external caches, as I assumed everyone else was. The
internal caches are entirely under the WMF's control so they can be
made to do whatever the WMF wants them to do. There's no problem
there.
I suppose the 503 could be provided by the squids for en.wikipedia urls,
instead of by the origin servers.
That probably also means starting with an empty enwiki squid cache after
the blackout.
