Great to see an official update on this and I am glad it was resolved reasonably quickly. As more and more DApps come online (inc SMT's) this sort of down time will become harder for independent business who rely on the blockchain to tolerate.

I do feel that communication to other stakeholders (ie the general public, non top 20 witnesses, DApp holders) could have been much better however. This issues with this was expressed well by @therealwoolf in his post this morning so I won't repeat all his points here however I hope the team gets a chance to read it.
