There will be no shutdown in the forseeable future.  There are number
of projects which are converting over to commercial but will remain
open source, openlogging.org will continue to be useful for them.

That goes for both openlogging.org and bkbits.net.  Nothing will go away,
http access to bkbits will be there indefinitely.  That includes the
ability to extract patches via BK/Web.

What this means for everyone is that if you want to be absolutely positive
that you can get at your data after July 1 then stick it on bkbits.net
and at the very least you have patch access.  As well as bk2cvs exports.

For those of you who are commercial users nothing will change, bkbits.net
will continue to work for you as it does today and any other commercial
users will be able to clone/pull/whatever.  I know it's not as good
as everyone can get at things using BK but the idea is that all the
commercial users can keep on using bkbits.net without any change.
