[Developers] any programmatic way to query for sandbox reloading status?

[brendan]

There is no api call to determine this. The data refresh on sandbox is  
initiated by a staff member on Monday afternoon (almost always, and  
never earlier).  At minimum, we should send an email to this list  
announcing that a refresh is imminent and then when it's complete.  
Would that be adaquate?
