As a friend of one of the competent parts of the devel team, I'd have to 
say that it's the former (Christian's working on prelims for the next few 
weeks); not that I'm saying it won't get fixed, I don't know what his time 
schedule is like, but that's a mitigating factor.

Clearly... particularly when we're getting more publicity these days, it's 
pretty bad when a working system chooses to become non-working just as a 
larger group decides to try it out.

Not that I can help anyway... but I do agree with you, and unfortunately 
there's not much that can be done about anyone's current workload.

Then again, I also don't know if Christian's been able to reproduce the 
problem.
