gollark: Could it not have been migrated, um, better?
gollark: Why is Krust down?
gollark: Yemmel = Bignum ≈ Lignum
gollark: Lignum can be LOGICALLY SHOWN to be Yemmel.
gollark: When I tried to run a new krist node, it broke horribly and I eventually got it to not error (still didn't work) but there's a bug with the block values on new nodes.
