Infrastructure status, 2008-08-19 UTC 0200

[Jim Cornette]

I like the idea where the update tool notifies the user of important 
precautions.
I myself am not on the announce list so it was not a good choice to 
inform users of the infrastructure problem.
I read a mail to a link on the test list initially.

I think that broadcasting important messages via the more popular lists 
is helpful. When the infrastructure failed the "sirens" should have sounded.

I don't know if th problem is stability or security but stoped updating 
when informed of the problem on the test list.
