Hi Mos,

I updated the issue again.

App Engine is a managed service, the reliability team is constantly
monitoring the overall platform health and performing maintenance
operation.

"Google I/O 2011: Life in App Engine Production" is a great resource
if you are looking for more details about the reliability team
operation:

See my comments on the bug.

You're welcome to make constructive comments and suggestion about the
SLA by filling feature requests on the public issue tracker or by
contacting premier customer support:

https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/premier/

As I said before the serving infrastructure team is currently working on
improving loading request reliability, see:
