We cant have nice things because people complained when part of the patch was pulled after it was announced.
Don't worry. We'll still get to do that. Post Test Notes Get Feedback on Test Notes for a week Post Live Patch Notes (possibly/probably remove something that was included on Test) We complain! What could possibly go wrong?
Just a guess: If, when they attempt to bring the server up after the patch, there are major issue(s) with one of the things to be patched, they might decide to remove that feature from the patch and do it later after more debugging. I don't think having to wait a short amount of time for the patch notes is a problem. This is the Test server, which means anyone who plays it cannot expect (Darkpaw makes this clear) any assurances at all about what is added and removed, as well as uptime. While they do let people play test and enjoy it, the primary purpose is testing. Darkpaw, I'm sure, is very grateful for those who play on it but anything there will be sacrificed if needed for testing.
