I think it would be useful in these cases of major failure, for someone Official, to post to this list about the problem and when users can expect it to be fixed. On Commons several users came to complain about the problem. I contemplated writing to this list but first I went to the IRC room. The topic had a note about images, and there was already the "[[Water]] images broken" thread on this list so I assumed that Official people were aware of the problem and working on it (or not, as their priorities dictated :)).
But on this mailing list there is not a single post from a dev acknowledging the problem. If people think that changing the topic in the IRC room is enough, in terms of communication, I have to respectfully disagree.
So how is the communication chain between masses of users and a handful of developers supposed to run?
