SharePoint Server 2013 Service Pack 1 is now unavailable

Microsoft has done it again! The first service pack for the latest SharePoint version is flawed. For those who remember, the same mistake was done in June 2011 with SP1 for SharePoint 2010. According to Microsoft the current service pack for SharePoint 2013 will affect the ability to update installations in the future, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2817429/en-us:

"We have recently uncovered an issue with this Service Pack 1 package that may prevent customers who have Service Pack 1 from deploying future public or cumulative updates. As a precautionary measure, we have deactivated the download page until a new package is published."

Yet another day in SharePoint paradise...
