Just received the following message from DreamHost:

We will be working to improve service on your MySQL server this Saturday, April 8th, starting at 2PM PDT. This maintenance is estimated to take up to 2-3 hours to complete with a total of roughly 2 hours of periodic downtime.
As part of this improvement, we will be upgrading your MySQL server to improve stability as well as patching it for potential vulnerabilities. There should be no data loss, but connectivity will be affected by this maintenance, and changes to your databases should not be made until the maintenance is complete.
So we've been warned to not be alarmed if we hit some downtime on Saturday afternoon. I'll post any further messages I get relating to this upgrade.
I cross-posted this message in our General Forum.
