There will now be a period of several months where witnesses, developers and anyone interested are encouraged to set up a testnet and investigate and experiment with SMTs to help catch any bugs in the code.

Wow, how can it be 200 already? Well done to you for keeping it up and providing a great service. There's lots I hear about here first. It will be interesting to see how it goes with SMTs. I can understand why they want an extended period of testing. They cannot afford to mess up.
