Really. So it's just a coincidence that after 9 years of several hours long updates that the test server comes online and suddenly we're looking at 1:30 downtime. Coincidences are funny like that. They pop up at the heckest of times. Makes people think. Forms conspiracy theories. All that good stuff.
