Personally, I think the benefits to the server will outweigh the negatives. I think it will definitely encourage some people to come back who maybe wouldn't have, especially lower level characters. This is a good thing for the population of our community as it assures we are providing players for any new members to group with on the low end. People who are at 50 will probably spend more time on their alts/twinks taking advantage of the experience as well. It may alleviate some of the friction at the high end as there are only so many places to hunt at that level.

On the negative end, there will be a few more people who ding 50 next week than normal. That will add even more people to the ever-growing crowd of people chomping at the bit for Kunark. But the server outages take some of the sting out of that because no one has leveled at all recently. I think it's going to be a good thing...even though I can certainly understand why others are against it.
