Planned load balancer failover shortly

Hi all,

As part of our new hardware project, I'm going to be failing us over to our new load balancers. This will involve a brief downtime for the site while everything fails over, but it should be less than 60 seconds.

Thanks for your patience, and sorry for the interruption!

In my parlance (and in the industry-speak I'm used to),

This is what I meant. I'm a language researcher, and I know how easy it is for people who are used to talking with colleagues and co-workers to fall into using their shoptalk with people who* aren't *familiar with it, as well. It happens in every field, not excepting my own.

Thanks for the good work, and for the explanation.
