19 Well, I don't use the git thingy but even I sure appreciate the notice. 
20 At least if something like this happens, someone is trying to alert
21 everyone about it that even MAY be affected.  My first thought, someone
22 is just trying to spook us.  Then I saw it was from a @gentoo.org
23 email.  Then it was like, oops.  No syncing for a little while.  ;-)
