Or, indeed, beyond.  Which is why you don't (or at least *shouldn't*) roll out
new code into production use without stress testing it.

I appreciate that there is an old joke that goes:
        "Fast, cheap, correct - Pick any two"
but this is taking the piss.
IM-not-so-HO, at the moment, the 'pedia  is quite useless.
(I've been searching for the UN convention on human rights for 10 minutes.
 I know its there, I added it in myself.
 Last weeks wiki would've found it in 5 seconds
 Brittanica.com just found it in 5 seconds).

Can we not have the old one back until the code/hardware can at least perform
in an acceptable manner?

PS: The search has returned now.  It says this
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wikipedia articles
 Found 76 occurences of un convention on human rights. For each article, you
 can see its first paragraph and the first paragraph that contains ''un
 convention on human rights''
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The remainder of the page is blank.

PPS:  There is also an old saying that starts:
        "If it ain't broke..."
