>I have to ensure that it's always easy to take anything off of Cloudflare. I love Cloudflare generally, so this is really disappointing.

This line pretty much echos my attitude to cf going forward. Come to think of it, not just CF guess its going to apply to every company I deal with going forward. Although it sounds good in theory, wonder how hard it is going to be to apply this on every situation I rely on a 3rd party company.

Yeah. CF and kin provide a lot of advantages for cheap, but they are also big consolidations of infrastructure. There are more companies than ever before that can carelessly ruin your day, and they all have more customers than they can handle, and none of them want to staff a support team.

You can burn a lot of productivity trying to make everything completely fail-safe. Building stuff out of today's technology requires deciding which companies you're willing to gamble on and accepting that eventually the odds will catch you.
