We deploy to a single region. This maintenance was a major pain in the ass. We got a notice 72 hours ahead of time (only 1 business day ahead of time) that around 60% of all of our hosts failed live migration and would be rebooted.

@gibsonje - similar experience here. Except Rackspace gave notice about a week ahead. The day maintenance was scheduled for it was postponed but without notice. Then the reboots happened across 3 days as opposed to 1 day. Glad they are patching but that's not really fanatical support.
