In my opinion, yes. I went to Omsoft's website hoping to obtain
information about what was going on. There was *some* indication of the
problem on its Network Status page, but it was a bit cryptic (some mail
services down, no ping to yahoo.com). Definitely a DCN-Annouce should be
sent in such circumstances, and perhaps a web-based notice as well.
