Global rollout of security code on a timeframe of seconds is part of Cloudflare's value proposition.

In this case they got unlucky with an incident before they finished work on planned changes from the last incident.

That's entirely incorrect. For starters, they didn't get unlucky. They made a choice to use the same system they knew was sketchy (which they almost certainly knew was sketchy even before 11/18)

And on top of that, Cloudflare's value proposition is "we're smart enough to know that instantaneous global deployments are a bad idea, so trust us to manage services for you so you don't have to rely on in house folks who might not know better"
