Today it seems popular to blog about the planet, complain on irc etc. Well, atleast to get upset about it. In my usual, non-popular stance, I am just going to pose a question: What did it hurt? Are people so deluded to think that going a day without reading their blog through an aggregator adversely affected them? I think it is pretty safe to say no. Also, I checked my files, and no, I don’t have an SLA from canonical, nor the ubuntu foundation that guarantees anything.
If you are interesting enough, or have something decent to say, then the readers would have the address to your blog anyway. With that said, I think Corey’s spec is a good idea.

A sensible, nonsensationalist blogger! Amazing.
From reading all the outraged posts, I thought Canonical hosted all these people’s blogs and had deleted them. But apparently all the fuss is about Canonical deleting information that they felt shouldn’t be released yet from their own servers. Big frickin’ deal.

Well said and I agree completely. I have most of the good blogs on planet bookmarked anyway but visit just to take a break from work. So I guess my employer should thank Canonical since I got a little more work done because of it.
