And these sorts of things will occur again in the future. Our
(ethosmedia.com) servers have had better uptime than postgresql.org, but even
we've been offline for a half-day twice in the last 18months due to DDOS
attacks downing the firewall box. Outages *will* happen, and you're doing
the whole community a disservice to pretend that they won't.
