Any official documentation I can point someone to?   We didn't hear about
this - at least not yet.  I just FTPed into testcase and there is nothing in
the welcome message.     Our firewall changes don't happen quickly.  They
have to go through multiple levels of authorization, security, risk management, 
etc.   April 26th isn't enough time to get the change done with the usual
process if a change is required here.
