Putting your status page on a separate domain for availability reasons: good

Not updating that status page when the core domain goes down: less good

Maybe the plumbing for updating the status page went down too

Right, but lack of good signals should be regarded as a bad signal too

The status page backend should actively probe the site, not just being told what to say and keeping stale info around.

It probably did originally, until one time it showed down by mistake. Some manager somewhere said that's unacceptable, so it was changed to not happen.
