I said before that the e-mails of least general interest IMHO are those 
from the Director, which seem to make up almost half of category 1) most 
of which I see as being of little or no immediate concern.  The 
exception I made was for outages of our infrastructure, past, present 
and future, since I see those as bringing work to a grinding halt.

Yet today I see notice of an outage of a key part of our infrastructure 
on October 4th that has not been posted to ietf, ietf-announce or any 
such list AFAICT.

Weird.
