I disagree, the target audience is also going to be less technical people, and the gist is clear to everyone: they just deploy this config from 0 to 100% to production, without feature gates or rollback. And they made changes to the config that wasn’t deployed for weeks until some other change was made, which also smells like a process error.

I will not say whether or not it’s acceptable for a company of their size and maturity, but it’s definitely not hidden in corporate lingo.

I do believe they could have elaborate more on the follow up steps they will take to prevent this from happening again, I don’t think staggered roll outs are the only answer to this, they’re just a safety net.
