Yup, it's fixed now.

And the staleness is due to some issue with ssh and keys running out of
at... for some reason it worked before and now it doesn't work and I
haven't had time to look into it yet, so the web syncing is done
manually and we sometimes forget.

Anyways, there's very little we can do about some of these issues.
You'll also note that LE2005 is listed as a still-supported product when
it isn't (I've asked a few times now for that to be updated).
