No screams from me. I would say we start at 10am Mountain (12 Eastern/
1700 UTC). That should make sure that everyone from coast to coast is
awake to work on it.

I think we move the fedorahosted over and then do the great die-off.
Projects that aren't getting updated.. get archived and we concentrate
on what we can make work.
