Three minutes until restart?

On both Friday and Saturday night (EST), I got the message in game that a new build was available and the server would restart in three minutes. I was kicked just before I started a dungeon on Friday (whew). I am on Yaks Bend (not sure if it was just our server or the entire community who got restarted).

I understand the need to hot-fix issues or deploy emergency code, but three minutes warning in prime time is painful.

Have any of you seen an ArenaNet explanation?
Seems like there could be a better time to kick everybody out of the game.

Hello everybody.

Ulari, we are sorry for the inconveniences that the quick patch may have caused to your gaming experience but the deployment of this patch was really necessary and therefore was done that way.

We will proceed now to close this thread.
