Yes, me neither. However, I'm a little worried about the direction
SourceForge.net is heading. Wordpress was broken for several months
without any word about when it would work again and then an
announcement to discontinue it. The project statistics were also
broken several times for quite long periods before.

Hopefully it will be so.

It's just that before I didn't have to fix it in case it broke and now
I'll be responsible for it and for tracking the security updates also.

Thank you :)

BTW, SourceForge.net has sent a new mail today improving and
clarifying the migration plan slightly.
