Hello,

Issue #2349 (apparently named "System Updates applet: connection
errors") has gone missing!

https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2349 returns a 404 for
me, archived here: https://archive.fo/MXBpT

The issue also no longer shows up in the list where it would be
expected: 
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues?page=12&q=is%3Aissue&utf8=%E2%9C%93

Although it can still be seen referenced by name at the bottom of this
issue: https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1378

Github does not appear to have a way to intentionally delete issuesI
have not heard of this phenomenon before, and a quick google does not
suggest it is common either.

The github API for the issue also just returns:
% curl https://api.github.com/repos/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/2349
{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3";
}

I did not scrape all github issues in qubes-issues to see if there are
others (didn't want to hammer them with ~2.5k requests and get banned
or something), but maybe I should...

I would have CC'd github support on this, but they do not provide an
obvious email to use, so I will instead open a ticket pointing them to
this thread as soon as a link to it is available via google groups.

This also re-raises questions about using 3rd party services. By this
I don't intend to re-open the arguments about trust, etc. but if we
have been blindly assuming that at a minimum guarantees of
availability will hold and they turn out not to... then perhaps it's
time for several of us to start keeping local archives of e.g. our
github repos, the mailing lists, etc.?

Regards,
Jean-Philippe
