Has the ports tree been frozen?

I haven't been able to update my ports tree for the last 2-3 days. When I run

# portsnap fetch update

it returns

Ports tree is already up to date

I took it had something to do with the servers being moved or whatever was going on a few days ago. I had been expecting FreeBSD 9.1 to be announced on 11-12-12 too and thought that was the reason why it hadn't.
 
I check for normal csup operation about three times daily. Not fixed yet according to that and the freebsd-ports mailing list, where the question is also being answered.
 
This was send to the current@ mailing list yesterday (Thursday, November 15th, 2012 at 2:58 PM AST).

The FreeBSD cluster is undergoing maintenance. In particular the main machines were recently physically moved, upgraded, and discombobulated. A number of services are down but we are working on fixing this as fast as possible!

Yes because it's not a recursive acronym. It's worth about 25¢ per syllable. Approximately $1.50 per usage... Thou acronyms range in price based on expansions. SCSI for example is worth $2.25. BSD is worth $2 wheras FreeBSD ups the ammount and DragonFlyBSD goes a bit further. Though one would think the GNU being a recursive loop would garner the most amount in terms of how much one would gain from fancy dancy tech terms as being 'pricless' one would have to consider the GPL and the definition of free (not as in beer) to be more or less worthless and discombobulated.

my 2¢ anyways =)
