It's still common. Nobody really cares if a site is offline for a few minutes. You try again later (or not, but so what). Heck, nobody cares if they are offline for half the day, it gets fixed and at the end of it it's just a post-mortem for the nerds to read and a shrug and life goes on for everyone else. People vastly overestimate the importance of anything that is on the public internet. None of it is life-critical (if it is, it certainly should not depend on an internet connection or a web server being up).
