Hi Herta,

I apologise for the inconvenience you experienced. Red Hat Network's outage
policy is documented here:

https://rhn.redhat.com/help/outage_policy.pxt

It was unfortunate your maintenance window coincided with one of our code
releases. I was expecting rhn-outage-list to have been notified, but it
appears the announcement email was not sent.

Thanks,
Misa
