View submission: Why has R/Iama been set to private?

I came here with the same question. The message on /r/iama currently says:

a message from the moderators of /r/IAmA

Due to internal administration reorganization at reddit, /r/IAmA has temporarily been made private by the moderators. We will be using this time to restructure our process for AMAs. If you have any concerns, please contact reddit at: press@reddit.com or contact@reddit.com

According to Twitter (including @edfrenkel, who was in the middle of an AMA) the subreddit suddenly was turned to private.

So, in other words, they're not really telling us much?

edit: /u/karmanaut is working on an explanation

and it's up!

So should we email them and bitch about how stupid they were to do this?

If this is true then not very good timing considering the AMAs that were going on.
