Not sure if you understood my example:

1. DHCP customer needs to be moved to a different router.
2. Because customer will be moved to a different router, customer
*will* be down for some time.
3. Moving the customer is done as a planned activity, at night, with
alert to the customer several days in advance, in order to minimize
customer inconvenience.

Also, not directly related to the above: Business customers can also
choose static addresses. If such a customer needs to be moved to a
new router, addresses are also moved.

I fail to see how this can be described as "we value our convenience
above the impact this has on our customers". But I'll stop here.
