Probably applying patches to the actual servers, not the game.

According to a Blizz rep i spoke to about a year ago. Tuesdays scheduled maintenance includes the following:
Backup of all current server data.
Restore damaged data.
Apply minor bug patches.
Repair performance issues.
Upgrade hardware systems.
Various other maintance issues that may arrise.
Im going to ask again, just to be updated.

How does data get damaged? Long explanation... How do you get corrupt files on your computer? How do you get errors with programs on your computer. It just happens... Constant use of a drive will do it also.

As far as i know there are no hot fixes or patches going on atm.
The did hotfix it so the Boneguard Footmen you kill as part of the Tournament Daily no longer grant Lovely Charms for the Holiday Event. Prior to maintenance today they did grant the charms, when all you had to do was run them down with the horse. :P There's a lot of little fixes that go on that we never ever hear official tell of, usually they just fix little things that aren't working as intended in the first place.
But yeah, as far as I know Tuesday is just the day for regular preventative maintenance, upgrades, fixes, and hardware replacements. Though there are also rumours that the devs use the time to hunt for the
