Happy eyeballs however does allow you to take a server out of production
and not really notice it.  Note webbrowsers have had the ability to do
this for as long as webbrowsers have existed.

Mark, could you elaborate on this point ? Surely you're not talking about
the fact that a browser retries a failed connection, but I'm not not sure
what mechanism you're talking about.

Billions of dollars have been wasted globally for the sake of a few hours
work by webbrowser vendors.

This analysis seems a bit simplified in my opinion. Nothing is completely
white or black.
