Indeed. It was up reliably since 2005, down for maintenance on September 23rd (before ShellShock ...). Then I discovered that someone had put up m3-cdecimal on PyPI (presumably abusing PyPI as their private repo --- there are several m3-* packages now). This triggered some reflection on whether I would make a significant effort in the future to keep things running smoothly for an open source community where authors are largely viewed as expendable. Subsequently the downtime (again, the first one since 2005) was picked up for propagandistic purposes on Twitter and Reddit. Last year I would have felt an obligation to minimize the downtime to an hour at most. I no longer feel any such obligations and I'll do it when I have time.
