And that is really the bigger problem here. I think we really need to minimize dependency on stuff that only a few people have access to, since they're overworked. I'd certainly encourage somebody to offer up a fixed rsync server. While you're at it, a gitlab/whatever server so that we don't have to keep arguing over github would also be nice. I'd really like to see our infrastructure get to a point where it is all published FOSS minus maybe a few authentication tokens so that anybody can just fork it on demand. Even though we'd probably still want the officially-designated servers it would make it far easier for others to contribute if they could actually test it all out. Authentication could use openid or whatever so that a clone could be a first-class alternative. In any case though, this isn't some vast conspiracy to get rid of Changelogs. More likely there are only a few people who can fix them, and they simply haven't gotten around to it. -- Rich
