Our Minneapolis BGP session to XO dropped at Jan 26 23:08:03 CST (21:08 
PST) for 52 minutes.  A colo customer in a second XO facility in 
Minneapolis appeared to be unreachable for the same period.  The 
reported cause was a problem during planned maintenance, requiring 
reboot of multiple routers.  I was wondering whether XO might have hit 
a snag while responding to the Cisco advisory.  If your XO link doesn't 
touch Westin, then perhaps the timing was coincidence?
