Second Life rolling restart underway

The rolling restart of Second Life to distribute the new server code has just started (at around 3pm SL Time). Previous experience suggests it's like to take about 6 hours, and it will run North to South, so you can skip North to miss it. However, many people in Second Life, or trying to get in, have reported that the central update which has been running since 10am has been rather bumpy, so this may be bumpier than expected too. Good luck everyone, see you on the other side!

[UPDATE: 9:15PM SLT - The rolling restart has finished, and Second Life grid operations are settling]
