Undo what has been done - split servers up.

Cmon, the update has caused a 1 or 2 days of inconvenience. It will pass. No need to freak out

Yes I know this will be a temporary thing - as all patches tend to follow a few hours of emergency maint (in SE history - dating back to 2006), however "server" issues are ongoing until they upgrade hardware. It's like tipping a bottle of coke upside down and expecting the liquid to fall out like a bucket.
