Well said. I CAN see the other issue being the work times at SE. I'm not keen on if servers are maintained US side, or JP, or whever, but IF they are maintained JP, you may deal with office hours. For example... when they did JP server maintenance, it was 6A-8A. Sounds like it coincides with a lot of typical work days. Our 11P/12A PST maintenance falls at 3P/4P there, so again - kinda sorta typical work day. If the servers are maintained HERE, though... why couldn't they do it during those same hours? Easier to have folks do the updates say, 10A-2P than it is to drag people in at midnight and put them to work for 2-4 hours.
