I'm just being a bastard here. (please forgive me) 28/2=14 >>> Feb 14th* :P

Honestly though all this really doesn't matter because in the schedule-- said it was subject to change.

****I'm just playing around with ya though :P I did see you put middle of a normal month there.

Please forgive me as well:
"Mid-February" (non-leapyear) is actually midnight Feb 15 (start of the 15th) local time.

If we allow SE to not announce at the stroke of midnight, then we have already decided to allow "mid-February" to be some arbitrary non-zero period of time centered on midnight Feb 15. That could be 17 hours to allow a full work day on the 14th and 15th, or 89 hours to allow from the 11th to the 18th, or some other amount of time.

Now all that remains to be seen is how big of a "middle" SE will require.

Wouldn't that mean the last day of the month falls victim to the midnight thing as well. Making somewhere like 11:59:59.999999999999999 pm on the 28th the last second of February, making it still not the 15th? (I'm genuinely curious.)

Not really victim, it's still 24 hours long. It starts at midnight and ends just before the next day's midnight.

It's impossible to measure the instant between seconds, because it has zero length, and our minds can't conceive of it. So we measure the space between instants. The first second of a minute we label "0" and the 60th we call "59". (Just like a ruler/measuring stick starts with zero.) And a day goes from 12:00:00 a.m. to just before the next 12:00:00 a.m..

Like you said, 14 full days before the middle point, and 14 full days after. The middle happens after the 14th day and before the 15th day.

And now that I've confused anyone actually trying to think too deeply about this, the middle of a 31-day month is the 16th at noon. And the middle of a 30-day month is midnight of the 16th day.

lol you didn't confuse me, don't worry about it. I just like thinking.
