Hi AWM-
There are pre-announcements, but perhaps we have not made it easy for you to find them. The 3-day rolling restarts are announced, before they start, on the Status Reports page: http://status.secondlifegrid.net/
You could subscribe to an RSS feed to see such announcements the moment they are posted.

I know it might not be days & days of advance notice, but it is at least 1 day in advance, which would at least prevent "surprises" when you and your team are actively trying to log in.

A rolling restart is intended to only disrupt each region for about 5-10 minutes. For greater planned downtime, much more additional advanced notice is always posted, whenever humanly possible.

Perhaps a smarter way would be to put those current notices about outages on the Client, rather than things perhaps less important, like Burning Life?
