It was not just the world cup, it was also the week end of when 
winter break starts for a lot of students & is close to 
Christmas. This will effect availability, because this is when 
people start traveling and doing Family related stuff.

In general I think this was a death by a thousand paper cuts type 
deal: Not much time passed from the last Dconf, Online stuff is 
slowing down as people return to IRL, the Holidays are 
approaching & there apparently was major sports event going on.

I do also want to say that I'm not blaming anyone here, I don't 
think any of this was too obvious until it happened.
