TL;DR

I want them to tell us WTF they are doing on the back end and put in system messages that tell us when a server is shutting down.

That server warning thing is an absolute necessity. Obviously, there'll be some shutdowns they wont be able to warn us about (crashes and the like), but if they know ahead of time they should let us know, too.
On the other hand, I don't care so much about the back end stuff, as long as they let us know at some point. They seem to be doing a fair job of it with the AtVs and the other stuff. I wouldn't complain if there was a spectrum thread, though. :grin:

Maybe they are also testing reactions of various systems during a shutdown to test recovery, what happens if I lift a box just as I get shot and the server dies, did I survive? Did I lose my box? We need to know how things will behave in that sense.

Just a thought, it COULD provide them with information.

Thats asking for them to take longer when performing maintenance on the back end. Not only do they have to do the actual maintenance, but you are asking them to take the time to write about it and explain it when they could be doing more maintenance.

I edited my post a bit, knowing how much time it takes to write detailed descriptions of what they are doing is asking too much, I thought of a better way, and a possible benefit. I'd appreciate your input.

When this gets announced, you can prepare for it, continue your business as usual but know that this isn't a crapped server but an intentional TEST.
If I start up with the intention to change my weapon load-out, I will spawn a ship and notice after a while if I can do some changes. If the weapon selection is replaced again by mobiglass time after time, I will instantly leave the server and try another region.
The same happens with floating target markers, I don't want to do mercenary missions if my target markers are floating over my screen, although this can be "fixed" by switching to a "normal" resolution.

Have an upvote.

I don't really care about the background stuff, I think ATVs are doing fine. But the server shutdown is pretty necessary.
