In my experiences, manual backoffice that lets a human in a loop is rarely implemented (at all), rarely works and is frequently broken.

This is because the development process stimulates features and automation and such a backoffice has to touch every system while bypassing many checks. It's a perrenial pain in the ass.

So I expect a lot of companies and processes to lack "Plan B" entirely.



Ustream would probably have at least one "special" stream up at any given time, so that code would get enough traffic to prevent it from rotting.
