Due to an unexpected breakage on our database servers, several Gentoo websites are currently down.
In particular, this includes Forums, Wiki, and Bugzilla. Please visit our [Infrastructure status
page](https://infra-status.gentoo.org/) for real-time monitoring and eventual outage notices.

<b>Update, Dec 5, 2021:</b> The outage, apparently caused by a subtle bug in the depths of MariaDB
and Galera, should mostly be over. Our infrastructure team is watching the database servers closely
though.
