I try to not sound hyperbolic and hundreds is bad enough! At least redports is back! Or almost is. It dies for me when I log in. I reported it a couple of hours ago, so it will likely be fixed shortly. In any case, for things like releasing a new gnome and all that is tied to it, pointyhat is probably the only practical way to go. -- R.
