    Which 12 hours? One block of 12 hours? Twelve blocks of 1 hours? Important hours or unimportant ones? Which hours are important to whom?

    The audience for the status page is everybody, and everybody will want things their way. There is no pleasing everybody. That's why there's color. If you see a lot of red, that's bad. If there's not that much red, it's not that bad.
