I figure the web interface will be the first to go, so you get to be our
"canary", Carlos.

(Coal miners used to take canaries down in cages with them in the mine
shafts. If methane were present, the canaries would pass out well before the
men would, warning them to get out before an explosion or before the lack of
oxygen asphixiated them. The term, thus, is used to designate a sacrificial
early warning system.)

MS was not 'on-time' for the other groups either - especially if the cut-off
date fell on a weekend.
