I imagine that most Toolserver users are less interested in the mechanics of the machine than they are in its results. As I see it, the primary purpose of the Toolserver is to provide replicated databases. The Toolserver has other (secondary) purposes such as providing shared hosting and storage, but that is so ubiquitous on the Web these days that it's not really relevant here. Focusing solely on the replicated databases for a moment, they've been corrupt for months. Months and months. What can be done about this? Would having additional roots help with this?
