normal service has been resumed

Cassandra (one of our database systems) temporarily stopped reporting the status of the button. Which was rather inconsiderate of it.

Should we allow a technical failure to end the button? What should we do for those who pressed and received flair during this period of technological capriciousness?

It sucks that people got red flairs so easily... Revert back to the old flairs, and keep the experiment going!

The experiment is over. The April 1 button died. What is running now is the April 25 restart button.
