Hi,

In Sweden we have Olle Johansson (that some of you might know) that coordinate 
our effort(s) on trying to understand what's up. I don't know whether Olle is 
on this list, so I copy him here.

As Ondřej wrote, I do not think we should do anything in panic. We need 
something that fulfils our needs.
