This sorry sorry-thank-you page has been thanking us for our patience for a _very_ long time now. Is there at least a plan to do something about this? HTTP access to the source code is nearly non-existent (/dev/null-like), and it has been this way since the changeover to BZR. So much for a project that inscribes on its banner that source-code access is the be-all and end-all. (No flames, please - just chalk it up to user grumbling. I know full well that the source code _is_ available through other means than HTTP.) Seriously, this state of affairs is lamentable (ridiculous?) in 2010. It's like going back 20 years in time. Normally functioning HTTP access is the least that could be provided nowadays. It really shouldn't be that big of a deal. And that friendly thanks-for-your-patience page doesn't even have an email or web address you can report problems to (though there is really only _one_ problem to report: it just doesn't work). The only thing mentioned is an IRC channel. Sheesh - how lame is that? Anyway, thanks for listening. I'll keep dialing, trying to get through, though I feel my chances are better with the lottery or SETI.
