I think tracker downtime is quite possibly worse than repository downtime.
The small group of developers with SVN commit privileges are committed
enough to come back and commit their code a couple of days later. A member
of the community wanting to make a bug report is less likely too. As it
is, when SF is up, people think having to register or even log in is too
much of a burden. When SF is down, people sometimes send tracker items to
the pydev list instead, when means someone else (who?) has to put in the
tracker or it gets lost.
