Actually in the past many server owners wanted server updates in advance
so that they were able to have a server online ready for players and not
to update at the same time when update hits to players. That was due to
content servers being too busy at those times and we were unable to
update servers. Personally i like the new way so far.

Eric,
I'm sorry, but I don't like this at all. Why are you changing the way
releases are done? Please don't release future updates like this. It
worked just fine before and after years of doing client and server
updates at the same time, people know how to deal with them and this
will create more confusion when it just isn't needed. And Lord help us
if the Client update is delayed after the server update is released.
People won't be able to play on a ton of updated servers. Thank you
for your consideration.

I'm pretty sure it will say "The server is running a newer version of
the software.", since this is a mandatory update.

Will the clients still be able to join the updated server until the

Eric,
We're working a mandatory update for Team Fortress 2. The dedicated
server update is now available for you to download ahead of time...
For those of us that have automated systems that look at these
announcements and check for updates, this sort of pre-release can
cause servers to be upgraded too soon and kick a lot of clients who
then cannot reconnect. It may be better to send out pre-releases under
the optional update channel, or with some sort of other special tag.
