And people wonder why enterprises are risk averse and nervous of open source and new innovations from startups.

Are there any circumstances where a company can reasonably go dark for a week?

If it is an acquisition it's pretty disrepectful of people investing in their solution.

On the contrary, I would say that enterprises should take the risk and use such projects. They likely have enough capital to hire the correct people (e.g. one of the core devs) when a problem shows up.

Startups can't afford that. Therefore they should use older technology until they grow big enough to tank the damage.
