Unfortunately, one of the worst-case scenarios appears to have
happened - a machine did not come back up after a reboot. We are
working with the hosting company to figure out what went wrong and get
it back up as soon as possible, but obviously this will not happen
within the window we were hoping for.

We have a backup option which is to bring the VM up on a separate
machine, but given the amount of extra work and possible further
issues with this, we are going to hold out for a while to see if we
can get the current machine back into working state, given that it's
only "internal services".

We'll get back to you with more information as soon as we have it.
