not covered ?

Not covered because if you needed to know, you knew. When updates stopped on Fri, you searched around to find Paul's message.

Now, we should take elReg to task for not uncovering the cause of the outage. Rather than repeating public information, tell us what we do not know, like WHAT THE F IS GOING ON AT REDHAT ? excuse me for shouting.

Was redHat rooted ? Or did they merely have dodgy keygen code like debian ? Or maybe the keygen problems with deb have a secondary effect on rh, rh has asked all their contributors to regen SSH keys, partially (allegedly) to allow pruning of the weak debian keys.

Don't repeat the same crap. Tell us the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Look hard for us.
