[Labs-l] Dumps not working for 3rd month in a row.

[Bryan White]

I did mention that dumps are now run manually. I was on the message
you mentioned.   Only one dump has started in the last 18 days, this
is in addition to larger languages never completing.    Going from two
dumps a month to no dumps a month is not a "delay", it is dead.
