If the community can't come together to regulate itself in the wake of known issues which will be addressed soon, then yeah, time for a more heavy handed approach.
If the times are random, it's a terrible idea. If the times are not random, it's a terrible idea.

I can schedule a macro to log me in while AFK if I know when the times are. I can be in the middle of a long dungeon and lose all my progress to a restart if I don't know when the times are.
