[OpenLayers-Dev] Servers down

[Cameron Shorter]

Chris,
This brings up another point, reliability of OpenLayers servers.
The OpenLayers tutorials encourage users to point to the Openlayers.js 
from Metacarta. This means that users are now dependent upon Metacarta's 
service reliability.

I don't want to start an argument as to whether it is a good idea or not 
to depend upon an organisation you don't control for your service.
However, I think it would be good for Metacarta to publish its service 
uptime policy. Maybe run this email past your lawyers and I bet they 
come back with a requirement for a disclaimer.
