I've asked for this on a number of occasions. It only takes 30 seconds
to send a quick IRC or email update to keep people in the loop of the
status even if it's a "koji still down, still working on it" style of
message.

I hope all the firewall rules and other such changes have been now
committed to config files so that the changes are stateful over a
reboot, it's not the first time firewalls have caused issues on the
reboot of servers.

Can you please disable the problematic builders while you work on them
an only re-enable them once they are known good. That way you can work
on them to your hearts content and others can continue to work
uninterrupted.

I'm fully aware of what it can be like working in outage situations
(that is my job after all) so please try and provide regular updates.

Thanks for your work.
