+As you may have noticed, we had a server failure due to an air-conditioning
+breakdown. The server's filesystem got corrupted, affecting our CVS repository.
+This has finally prompted us to look for a different hosting solution and maybe
+refresh the hardware in the process. We have an opportunity to host our server
+at a different place with faster net connection, but only a 1U rackmount case
+can be placed there, while we have a standard midi-ATX case.
