Don't know what a "MJ issue in the long tail" means?
Well, an "MJ issue" is a special kind of performance problem that
affects very popular pages, like how popular the [[Michael Jackson]]
article was in the few hours after his death. See wikitech-l from
around that date. The "long tail" is a buzzword referring to the
low-frequency end of a Zipf distribution, i.e. the least popular
articles. So it's hard to see how an MJ issue could be in the long
tail. I think he just means an MJ issue.
