Thanks for sending this out - clear communication is important!

A small errata: we can still freeze landings to devel via a losa ping:
the mechanism of rc mode has not been removed, just our regular use of
it each month.

This is a situation where using it would indeed be appropriate while
we get the rails back on track.
