I added the following to the Technology Report, trying to relate what this means for the general user.
The toolserver was down for a couple days around New Year's, due to the servers being moved to from the Amsterdam facility to another data center. After the move, there were problems with one of the database servers (yarrow), which took a few days to fix. While awaiting the fix, a log file was deleted and replication on one of the clusters is not working. This means copies of some Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects are not up-to-date now. However, the replication problem but this is only affecting some of the smaller projects and not English Wikipedia. Some interwiki tools such as CheckUsage (for images) are not fully functional at this time, producing outdated results. Again, thanks for the quick reply and let me know if what I wrote needs any adjustments.
