Apple WTF

Apple uses ASP.NET, but does not know how to set CustomErrors mode="RemoveOnly"

Half the Apple sites (TRWTF is I need 2 - 3 separate sites and logins to do developer and app admin stuff, it should be unified IMO) are down almost half the time when I try to use them. I logged into iTunes Connect this morning to see weekly download stats for our recently-released iOS app and nothing worked. Just timeouts and errors.
I'm probably sounding like a broken record anymore, but I really wish Apple would take the 100+ pages of guidelines and requirements they make us third-party app developers abide by and apply it to their own crap. In our experience the bugs/issues/errors/crashes/etc encountered per hour metric is at least an order of magnitude greater than when we're using our typical Windows toolchain.

If your web.config is broken, setting CustomErrors to RemoteOnly isn't going to do any good. Someone as large as Apple I hope would use a custom error page as well and not rely on the yellow screen of death.
EDIT: Scratch that, it does work in this case.

Nice try, but apparently they're outsourcing this; it's not their app: https://mrt.moduslink.com/app/AppleStatusSite/AppleStatusSearch.aspx?Lang=en-US

White-knighting? Is that a euphemism? For a term with more earthly colors alluding to a certain phase in the digestion process?
