Rolling restarts announced.

It gets a bit tedious, nobody bothering to announce plans until the last minute, even when they have been in the status page all weekend. These things may be automatic, but I figured "Why not tell people?", and took a screenshot. No guarantees, plans could be changed, but I feel like sending Linden Lab a bill.

betting a script fires them off at a certain time that's in their internal system.

Yes, that's quite likely.

I think the most problematic aspect of this issue is that these automatically generated notices are by their nature perforce vague and rarely (if ever) say WHAT is to be rolled.  Also occasionally they are "fired off" even what there is nothing to "fire".

I am inclined to attibute these occasions to a lack of joined up thinking at LL.
