Is having maintenance the same time as blitz start really a good idea?

Does anyone else forget how android was down for practically 5-6 hours after apple users could log into the servers?

It wasn't a big deal back then, but this is the start of what will possibly be a very important red orb blitz. Being unable to participate for 6 hours while half the playerbase gets their first 3 sessions in would be disastrous for android users.

Is this really a good idea?
