Quite the opposite. It is a very carefully chosen set of words
indicating that:
1. DNS didn't stop functioning.
2. The internet did not fail to route packets because of this.
It carefully side-steps the other issues raised without looking like it
is ignoring them. Verisign is a lousy DNS provider and an even worse
registry/registrar, but, they have great press writers.
