Hooray, as of Thu 25 Jan morning, the board is working fine. The maintenance operation seems to have affected nothing, there was no outage.
Rest of this is now irrelevant:

What does that headline mean?
"Tonight" = starting some time after midnight Eastern Standard Time (UTC-5) on Thursday, 25 January 2024...
we'll be doing
"maintenance" = we're fixing some stuff on the board...
which will use up our bandwidth and cause a
"Service Outage" = if you try loading the board either it won't work, or you will see the SQL Hell again.
So for Thursday we're having a break. Do not be alarmed, it is planned and temporary.
