Yes and no. There clearly is no good time. The longer we wait, the more 
trouble we'll have. The change is needed to take fresh new hardware into use 
and move forward. Right now things are still comparatively calm as many people 
were on vacation and are only now comming back. We'd have liked to be faster, 
but only now feel that it would be responsible to switch.

The current issues (that are seemingly still ongoing) are by the way the old 
system falling apart, seems like it wants to support us moving on. We haven't 
changed anything yet (and it will probably be Friday before we feel that we're 
finally ready).

Cheers,
Frederik
