No, not the packages. At least, I didn't notice. I'm pretty fed up, as I 
worked heavily on a project the last weeks, and when it come to 
rollout, I had to notice, that almost all repos, that I rely on, are 
gone. External and my own. I had boat loads of builds to targets like:

KDE_Distro_Stable_openSUSE_11.1, 
KDE_Distro_Factory_openSUSE_11.1

that all vanished. Or builds against the openSUSE_11.1 version of 
devel:language:python, that are all gone. Targets _and_ repos. Deleted.

And I was so silly to promote this service around the world. Oh, well.
