+As of 2014/01/10, the overlays.gentoo.org machine is down. The machine provider has been contacted
+and we are awaiting remote hands to assess the state of the machine. We expect an update from our
+provider on Monday, 2014/01/13.
+
+#### Update 2014/01/13 ####
+
+Our provider got back to us. They are currently doing some datacenter
+restructuring. We hope to get an update on the overlays machine by tomorrow (2014/01/14).
+
+#### Update 2014/01/14 ####
+
+As the first measures taken by our provider didn't help, a datacenter technician
+will be dispatched tomorrow morning, (2014/01/15, UTC).
+We expect a full diagnosis by then. A replacement machine is ready to host the service 
+in case of an extended hardware failure on the current host.
+
+We apologize for the extended downtime. The issue occuring during a weekend
+was especially detrimental to its resolution. To avoid outages with this
+service in the future, we are looking into redundant hosting.
+
+#### Update 2014/01/15 ####
+
+A mainboard failure was identified as the cause of the outage.
+As our bad luck continues, we found out the machine still had PATA drives
+which we will only be able to access tomorrow (2014/01/16).
+
+A replacement machine is still ready to host the data as soon as it is
+available. Should further obstacles emerge tomorrow that hinder the service
+restoration, we will bring back the service using a backup taken a few hours
+prior to the outage.
+
+#### Update 2014/01/16 ####
+
+The service has been restored.
+See our [separate notice](http://infra-status.gentoo.org/notice/20140116-overlays).
