And yet, all upgrades can be postponed with the right... motivation.
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.
