Oh, maybe a temporary problem. https://lwn.net/ksdb/ gives "We are currently unable to connect to the KSDB server".

If you look at the page for Dave in KSDB, you'll see that he is still signing off and merging patches. It has been a while, though, since he was a more active part of the development community. He is definitely missed.

I'm wondering, what happened to the previous networking maintainer, davem? Haven't seen anything from him in a long time.
