Yeah. I caught that. And as I said, you'd think they would have figured
out how to patch the servers without crashing them by now.

The person who figures that out will be a rich individual indeed! :-)

Do the servers really crash or does the maintenance time simply go on

From what I've seen, they crash. Wednesday most of the servers crashed and
dumped everybody out, and prevented them from logging back in for a few
hours. Tuesday after the patch, many people who were on the west continent
when they logged out were unable to log back in.
