Well, Mike Dorman had already written something up describing the situation but I guess he hasn't sent it yet. Here's the scoop. Some things have come up and our regular archive maintainer is no longer able to handle the archive. Mike Dorman and I moved all of the important packages and many others out of the Incoming directory yesterday and today. Many of the files have already been picked up by the mirrors and the rest should be picked up tonight. Mike and I will continue to work the archive for the rest of this week. We already have several volunteers to pick up the archive duties and Bruce Perens will pick one or two of them to take over permanently when he gets back next week.
