What's interesting is that the !NANOG part of the universe presumes the maintenance was to be performed by Twitter, not by their carrier (i.e. server, not network, upgrades). Given the fact that the WhaleFail has become a commonly-recognizable sight, I can see this make people a bit, um, nervous. The real impact of the maintenance would have most likely been minimal short of a Murphy strike.
That said, kudos to NTT for backing off in the face of some pretty momentous current events, and hope the delay doesn't cause too many ripple-effect problems for them.

They may have been unaware of the event and its importance to their customers.I'm more curious about what maintenance they are actually performing. I know they run mixed Cisco/Juniper, and all their Junipers should be able to handle in service upgrades. Of course, even switching hits of an upgrade warrants setting a maintenance window and notification due to Murphy.Jack
