IBM should explain what it expects to accomplish during this--on the face of it--absurdly long interval.
If IBMLink's deplorable availability will be very much improved after it, this outage may well be justifiable. If not, not. In general, it is time for more transparency about these issues; prior notice without consultation is not enough.
