Xbox Live Down Again for Maintenance

On xbox.com you can currently read in several languages:
"Xbox.com and the Xbox Live® service are currently down for maintenance. We’ll be back soon with amazing new My Xbox® features!"

14 hours of downtime? I cannot help it, but this a very long downtime for a paid service. Looks like Microsoft does not having an appropriate staging environment and no effective way to upgrade Xbox live - Does Bill know about this?

There are no major new features announced, so nothing to look forward too. See the maintenance announcement on Major Nelson's Blog.
He points out that this is not a Xbox 360 dashboard update.
