I sent mail to hotline about saturn. I also sent mail about the list of
things suffering from the atpocalypse. However, I omitted dke-athena-1
from that list since it is in an FSILG. Perhaps rcc-super can contact
the owners directly?
Someone should either fix quickstation-50-1 or send mail to hotline
detailing the precedure or simply requesting that it be re-installed.

It subsequently exploded because, as usual, someone power-cycled the machine in the middle of an update when they couldn't log in because GNOME is more focused on shiny things than functionality, and is too incompetent to handle /etc/nologin correctly.
