[ale] Fire in da hole! Infrastructure maintenance warning!

[arxaaron]

Thanks for the heads up to keep our heads down, Michael!  :-)

And thanks more for getting our DNS situation consolidated

Finally, some additional thanks to ALE founding members
Chris Farris and Robbie Hornercamp for quietly keeping a
handle on  ALE's domain management since, like, before
the invention of the vacuum tube.

peace
