Semantics aside, if an incident/outage/<other term> affects devs/users in any way, it really should be on the status page.

I found it impossible to distinguish between user error and platform outage. Too often it was a problem on fly's end yet the status page gave nothing (perplexed, I'd rerun the deploy a few hours later and it would work).

Can't stress it enough: if fly's services aren't working for any reason, big or small, put it on the status page. Devs need to know when something's not in their control so they can inform their team and customers and go to bed or take a coffee break. They shouldn't be up till 5am thinking they borked something when the problem is 100% on fly's end.
