Hmmm, you do know that motivation may have strictly been, "Your
maintenance corresponds with a major event, can you put it off for a day?"
The maintenance in question has obviously been marked critical by NTTA
with what appears to be short notification and limiting the delay to a
minimum. They may have been unaware of the event and its importance to
their customers.
I'm more curious about what maintenance they are actually performing. I
know they run mixed Cisco/Juniper, and all their Junipers should be able
to handle in service upgrades. Of course, even switching hits of an
upgrade warrants setting a maintenance window and notification due to
Murphy.
