They can't do a shutdown for Maint. to resolve this. They need to increase what they can handle by seeing what they can handle. And they prolly lack the ability to ghost in as many logins as we want them to have.

Lord knows what damage that would do internally. They need this limit. It's basically the same as having a server queue without the overhead log ins. This is probably the safest approach WITHOUT risking a potential launch delay.

SE know infrastructures probably better than all of us. Let them do their thing.
