The next step: Point downdector to downdector's downdector's downdector and create a cyclic dependency

I love the joke. The thing is, it's not so funny when companies actually try to do this on their own systems. I've never seen a 4x deep observability stack. But I have seen 3x, an entire project team dedicated to building a system that watches the watchers. It gets absurd.

This downdetector seems to be down. We might need another downdetector.
