Yes, but it's better to be some sort of communication presented on the main site. I know it's not a priority and Steemit is not eBay and not even Coinbase. It can be for now a page directing to the @steemit Twitter feed for realtime details.
In perspective, it would be better if it would be an interface that any Dapp can point to when there's an issue on the blockchain.
It is a good idea. Non-trivial to implement though, even though it sounds “easy”.
I know... That's why I suggested a temporary solution limited to Steemit and a link to their Twitter feed for updates.
