If you read between the lines:

1. For actual emergencies bring the servers down and then up again as soon as possible. People are going to be annoyed no matter what you do anyway....
2. For everything else not deemed urgent, roll it into regular maintenance (Tuesdays).

For the record, I expected this and am expecting it for at least another couple of months. What I wasn't expecting was SE would pick such unusual timings. 1800-2000GMT would put it at early morning Japan Time, mid morning for most Oceanic players and early afternoon for NA customers, Hardly what I'd consider prime time.
