Hello all,

We've completed the maintenance (actually was complete before 4pm).  Some to note:

 * IUS RHEL 6 repos are now available (though not populated with anything)
 * All RHEL 5.x point release repos are gone


If you have any issues at all with the repositories, please let us know as soon as possible.

For the majority of users who simply installed 'ius-release' and used the standard 'mirrorlist' config, you should have no impact after the maintenance.
