"Unfortunately this means that practically all sites and services will be down during that time."
Does this mean all mailing list sites, or all Wikimedia sites, including Wikipedia itself?

Hello,
Due to a problem in one of our core routers in our Tampa cluster we need to perform some network maintenance tomorrow, Friday July 31st around 12:00 UTC. We will be performing a software upgrade and reboot of the router. This should not take more than a few minutes if everything goes well. Unfortunately this means that practically all sites and services will be down during that time.
For those interested: one of the line cards in the router failed earlier this week. A replacement has arrived, but does not boot up correctly after hot plugging. Because we want to upgrade the firmware anyway, we will reboot the entire box.
Cheers,
