I share your frustrations but I don't think the WST rotations and the current spat of maintenance are related. The maintenance is over i20 and some of the issues that have resulted from it. The WST rotation can be handled without any maintenance (other then this week when Posi 1 went belly up on them 
).

The "movement" to a once a week maintenance cycle has been in place for YEARS now. Just because we've had a few unusual Thursday maintenance periods to deal with a new Issue release doesn't mean things won't settle back down eventually.|

Despite any recent problems this game, over the course of 7 years, probably still has an up-time record of well around 98-99%. I'm not really sure what "problem" you're trying to solve with this suggestion. Stop worrying about the short term and accept the overall reality. *shrugs*
