It's a lousy waste of time for us to be closing this ticket when smolder
works, and reopening it everytime smolder goes down. It's not productive
and serves no purpose. If we want to alert users that smolder is down, an
automatically-generated warning message somewhere on the website would
suffice. If we want to avoid the issue entirely, maybe we need to consider
hosting our own smolder server on Parrot.org (the idea has been mentioned
before, I don't know what came of it).
It's a problem with the smolder tech stack; moving the tech stack to
another host is unlikely to resolve the underlying problem.
> In any case, this ticket here is useless and not the right way to be
tracking the status of the smolder server. Plus, so long as smolder has
the possibility of any downtime ever, this ticket is unclosable, and
unclosable tickets are bad.

> I'll close this ticket in a few days if nobody objects too strongly, and
we can look for a better way (or open a ticket for finding a better way)
to track the status of the smolder server.
It is possible to re-submit a smolder test at a later time; I recommend
someone create a wiki page noting how to do that, and link to it from
here.
