Did the kernel.org rsync processes get stuck again?

It may still see the effect of a disk failure.. According to hpa as of 
Monday evening:

So it looks like kernel.org just had a few difficult days (fist the move
of master, then some problems at the outer fringes).

It has to adjust to the Oregon rain content. :)

Yep.  I'm actually a bit puzzled over just how long it seems to be 
taking to rebuild the RAID on zeus2, and the level of slowdown it seems 
to carry with it, especially not since we have turned off user traffic
