[Outages-discussion] Outages lists configuration thoughts

[Mike Bolitho]

Honestly, just delete the email and move on. Is it annoying? A little bit.
Is it this big of a deal that we need a whole new list or a new way of
doing things? No. It has been this way for at least a decade and about once
a year something crazy like the ATT outage happens and you get spammed for
48 hours. After that, it's totally quiet save for the other small/regional
outage here or there.
