According to their Twitter, they're doing a DB Upgrade:

We're currently upgrading our database server. We'll require about 30-45 minutes of maintenance until everything's back up.

Confirmed on the forums and status site.

I'm a relatively new user (past few months) but do they usually send out any notice on downtime?

I'm debating whether it would be a good idea to have the dropbox client be aware of planned downtime and inform the user accordingly.

I think it would be good to fire an event for planned downtime, without incurring too much of an overhead.

Inform the user why? What are they going to do differently as a result? I use Dropbox precisely so I don't have to concern myself with server downtime, database upgrades, etc. and I'm guessing most other users are the same way. Just sync it when the service is back up, I'm okay with not knowing.
