Please do keep in mind that internally here we have an extensive multisite setup with multiple containers to minimize downtime. The easiest way for self-hosters to minimize downtime is to run a two-container install (you can bootstrap the new, updated container before stopping the old one and starting the new one). This does increase the technical complexity of the site quite a bit, so it’s not for everyone.
