I'm wondering if it had something to do with Easter. There might be a lot of people who were tied up with family stuff and figured they could start on Monday. Last year Easter was in March.

Why not use stats from April 18th then?

Cause IRS devops isn't there yet. They (collect?) release metrics on Fridays.

It is Friday? Roughly 4PM on Friday, which means they'll likely be closing down shortly. Seems odd for them to do it as such a last minute thing.
