	All services stopped as of May 7, 12:00 UTC+2. This was the first long major outage since years. Not a good start for the Pentathlon and certainly not how it was planned. If the current deadline proves insufficient, it will have to be extended. Let me know if you have problems with deadlines or other things. I hope for no more issues on provider side. Thx for your understanding and support!

	Extended deadlines or extra grace time are always appreciated during the Pentathlon!

	It appears that I have 168 tasks marked as invalid that were not more than 48 hours late. I'm not really complaining, just a "heads-up" that the temporary change may not have worked as intended.

	It appears that I have 168 tasks marked as invalid that were at least mostly not more than 48 hours late. I'm not really complaining, just a "heads-up" that the temporary change may not have worked as intended. yes, someone noticed that too. If you want the credits for them I can add them to your total credits. It was only on this day. There will be a change in the future for this rare case.

	I am glad you are aware of the issue. I do not need the credits, if that will save you time and trouble.

	The 2nd time today, started at 0:43am Found this info Several lines are affected by regional outages, some of which were caused by infrastructure work (such as node splitting) or accidental cable damage. Currently it is a big mess.
