Recovering Re: Temporary outage due to security maintenance

WebPlatform.org's services are being restored.

Our host [rebooted their infrastructure to resolve a security issue][1].

The outage lasted longer than expected because our Virtual Machines are
on separate Hypervisors, and were thus rebooted in an unpredictable
order. We took this opportunity to apply latest the package upgrades.
