NSF and government shutdown

Amidst all the other chaos that will ensue if the government shuts down, there will also be NSF problems. Heard on the grapevine:

If the Federal government does shut down on March 4, you will not have access to FastLane for the duration of the shutdown.  On the NSF side, no one will have access to NSF email, and we will not be permitted to conduct government business using alternate email.

For example, this could be rather annoying for anyone trying to submit a CPS proposal.
