[Wikipedia-l] Reboots coming

[Brion Vibber]

The servers will be rebooted in a couple hours, circa 12:00 UTC, to 
install new operating system kernels. These include routine security 
upgrades, and hopefully the updated 64-bit kernel will help with the 
database server's Mysterious Occasional Data Corruption problems.

This will probably mean downtime of 30 minutes to an hour; if some of 
the machines fail to come back up it could take longer, but hopefully 
not.

Those of you in Europe -- take a long lunch. :)
