It is not hard to have 24/7 email list.  Certainly no maintenance  
that is standard last a day.  Out of band planned maintenance should  
only happen on a system with a warning beforehand.  An unplanned  
outage, especially of such long  of such long duration, calls for  
some examination.   The last time this happened the list was MIA for  
days.  That wasn't that long ago.  So while I hugely appreciate that  
the list has been maintained for free by David McFadzean and give him  
major kudos,  I think we should figure out how we can make the list  
more dependable.
