Good news. That's saved you a lot of work, anyway

Hello,

This is slightly embarrassing but you will hopefully be pleased to
know that BitFolk is not actually affected by the security issue
that prompted the scheduling of the maintenance described below.
Therefore it won't be going ahead.

Apologies for the confusion. I misread the advisory. I can't give
any more details as to what I misread as it's currently under
embargo but when the full advisory is posted next Tuesday it will be
clear.

Cheers,
Andy
