Flickr goes "offline" for 30 minutes to 1 hour probably at least once a month, leaving a note that says "Flickr is having a massage, come back soon". They let everyone know in advance (there are notes on the website at least 24 hours prior to the "offline" time). While I agree with you, it's to a certain extent. Companies shouldn't just go offline and leave no trace or explanation. Offline or Down times should at least have a mirror with a note saying that they will be back soon. I think it would have been worse if they had put up Wordpress 2.0, and then their old servers got slammed offline. Then you would have a Typepad type situation where no one knows anything and everyone is worried. I think it’s perfectly legit.
