I believe the advertised "regular" maintenance window for Steam is 4:00 PM (Pacific) every Tuesday. Of course, they don't always get started right at 4:00 PM. The TF2 release was announced at 4:26 PM (Pacific). Yes, to be fair, today they apparently did not get started on the Steam maintenance until 4:54 PM (Pacific).
Basically, my point being ... why would you release something that EVERYBODY has to download and apply, during (even or approaching) the regularly-scheduled maintenance window for the system that provides the download/update function? It's like saying, "hey everyone! download and apply this mandatory fix immediately!" ... then laughing and saying "you didn't think you could actually DO that now? did you?.... ha-ha-ha, DENIED!" Anyway, it's just a game I guess. So, not really upset. Just thought it was ... eh ... un-coordinated.
