Are status_* files still updated regularly?

Maybe the people taking care of status.toolserver.org could set the status file to be copied to the toolserver whenever something is changed? It seems to be kept up to date fairly well, and it beats each tool author slowly answering requests on what's wrong, or people blaming every little problem on the entire toolserver's reliability.
The status files were a great idea, other than not being kept up to date. The status.toolserver.org content would be nice to have in a single file already, but even better would be to split it to status_<service> files, maybe using the previously introduced format. http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/toolserver-l/2007-September/000910.html
