Hmm, I'm sorry about that, but it doesn't help the ones (like me)
that depend on CTM delivering...
It would have been nice if we had gotten a short statement to the
fact that delivery could be unreliable for a short time..

I'm not blaming anybody, I just rationalize the fact that (at least
to me) CTM delivery is important (and as far as I'm concerned, it
worked flawlessly under phk's wings, until the old setup broke) and
its important that it works (and is looked after).
If the problms can be resolved and dataplex.net connectivity
be brought to a level where it can be reached, then by all means
do it, but its pretty fatal that the CTM delivery is standing
still...
In the meantime I'll have to fight cvsup :)
