I don't understand the value of a warrant canary: if it goes away or is not updated, what is the suggested action of users of the service? Is everyone supposed to leave? Because that ain't gonna happen, fortunately for the service.

The bottom line to me is, encrypt your data before it leaves your control, and cross your fingers that whatever tool you used did it correctly. If the government wants to see which sites you are connecting to, it's easy enough for them to just ask Spectrum, Comcast, etc. So IMO, warrant canaries are useless.
