The website experienced a planned maintenance event on Saturday, May 14, 2011, beginning at 22:00 PDT, to upgrade its MySQL system, resulting in temporary unavailability of the site and all repository access via git/ssh. Although initially expected to last only a few minutes with a contingency plan to roll back if downtime exceeded 15 minutes, the maintenance extended to 29 minutes. Despite the delay, the MySQL upgrade proceeded without issues, as reported by Aman Gupta.
