Thanks for your keen observation Brandon.

You'll also have noticed that I said "We're told that this policy won't 
be applied to www or svnweb since you can't log in to those sites."

At least https://www is still accessible to older browsers, for now?  As 
is bugzilla, where you _can_ log in (just did) though I guess it's next.

And I'm sorry that circumstances, of both health and finances, have not 
allowed me the luxury of buying another 2nd-hand laptop this last year.

cheers, Ian
