Our hosting company, Tummy.com, will be increasing the size of the /boot partition to accommodate the larger kernels typical of modern Linux distributions.  This requires a full reload of all partitions' data.

We need money to realize improvements to our infrastructure, like newer hardware for the existing server and additional hosts that could continue to serve twistedmatrix.com <http://twistedmatrix.com/> during a maintenance window.

Please do so!

Although keep in mind that it is the DNS primary as well, so you'll have to update it with enough of a buffer that the secondary has cached the address by the time it goes offline.
