We just had a qwest outage of about 2 mins at 1:41am pst. When I called 
to report it I was told it was a 200+ emergency software upgrade due to 
a security concern, and that we will get a notice later after the fact. 
Normally we get notices in advance, even for software upgrades due to 
security or other important issues, so I am curious if other qwest 
customers had the same experience and wether this is how it's going to 
be from here on in? The affected platform was juniper and I'd love to 
know the specfic case being addressed here.

We received 7 Juniper Security Advisories today. My guess is that this
is the reason for the Qwest outage you've seen.
