[Karl Fogel <karl.fogel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Both 'edge' and 'staging' updates were down for a while after the recent
release.  Let's please try to update the channel topics in #launchpad
and #launchpad-dev when we see edge or staging updates are down -- this
would save other developers time.  As in:

  "I think I'll go test my recent change.  Hey, why isn't it showing up?
   I landed it yesterday!  I'd better investigate this..."

Now multiply that times the number of developers who landed changes
right after PQM opened back up :-).

On Monday I noticed that edge updates weren't happening, and I confirmed
with someone on IRC that it was a known problem.  Then I moved on to
some other task, doing nothing to help my fellow human beings.  Don't be
like me -- the guilt will eat you alive.  It's like a burning coal right
in your heart; you can never forget it.  Update those channel topics.

(And trust that someone will fix the topic once the updates come back --
there are lots of eyeballs on those topics, so incorrect assertions tend
to get fixed quickly, unlike absences of correct assertions.)
