Rollout to thousands of servers on WordPress.com is typically less than 60 seconds. We optimize for reverting fast.

Its just interesting to me the implications of what folks optimize for and that this is considered fast. We have very minimal deploy testing and optimize to be able to revert quickly when there are problems because performance issues like this are very hard to predict. Probably means we create many smaller short hiccups though (that generally are not a full site crash).
