Comment on Facebook's Realtime Updates API has been down for 12 days

Apparently you must have a facebook account to read this. Does the link point to a status page or a discussion?

It links to a bug in Facebook's developer-facing/public bug reporting tool. Lots of angry comments about various products (mostly marketing related) depending on the API for updates, suggested workarounds (rewrite to query/pull rather than accept pushes), and an indication from Facebook that the fix will go out with this week's standard Facebook API iteration (they're released on Thursdays).

This is mostly of interest because at the recent F8 conference Facebook announced a "48 hour SLA" for "major bugs" and it appears this bug wasn't "major" enough to be fast-tracked.
