That's not the point of discussion. I didn't say Gitlab doesn't lie about it or heck, That it doesn't have worse uptime than Github.

My argument is that a company erasing 300GB production database once is not a stain on their competency and that it can not be compared to a company which has very frequent outages which also happens to lie when they have outages.
