This was not announced in advance since we only learnt about the changes about 10 minutes ago. Sorry.

I've asked WMF (i.e., Tim) to let us know about schema changes in advance next time, so we can apply them with less service interruption.
Given WMDE's recent fundraising changes which now allow sup- porting WMF directly, are there any plans to blur the clear distinction between WMF's farm and the Toolserver database servers with the accompanying headaches in the near future?
