Fully understandable.

Its going without saying that we are thankful for this.

I do not think that the current shutdown is due to hardware issues.

Well, may be it is just me since I learned to ignore these mails. I can
confirm that I got these. But I learned that the advice given in these
mails does not work - I remember that pinging you in person worked all
the time (thanks for this). However, the mails do not help to avoid
dead accounts since one of the registered servers (I used it for
blends.debian.net) is actually dead and I tried to declare this some
years ago. So I deleted the mails you are speaking about. Unfortunately
I forgot that ddtp.debian.net remains there and should be kept up and
running as long as we do not have ddtp.debian.org. Sorry if my
non-response causes downtime of this server.
Kind regards
Andreas.
