That's the real surprise.
I have to second this. I tried to report this outage several times last week - on IRC, on this mailing list, and on Bugzilla. All reports -- NOT COMPLAINTS, JUST REPORTS -- were met with absolute silence. I fully understand that time and resources are limited, and not everything can be fixed immediately, but at least some acknowledgement of the reports would be appreciated. It is extremely disheartening to members of the user community of what is supposed to be a collaborative project when attempts to contribute by reporting a service outage are ignored.
