comment Self-service site creation (e.g. MySites) - specify Content DB
Thanks - yes that was my line of thinking - host named site collections. The round robin is not ideal as some my sites could end up in other sites content Dbs. Looks like MySites still needs to be in its own web application. :)

comment Powershell Enumerate through all site collections but not include one specific site collection
A word of advice, before you test the "exclude" function, comment out the actual update code and replace it with debug code like writing the Url of the site - to confirm it has excluded mysites. :)

I would not suggest storing application-specific data in the configuration database.

This is pretty much the same answer as @Simon Doy s, except you are passing a StreamReader instead.

Depending on the size of the document, you may want to save the file to memory first, then try XDocument.Parse. That will separate your two proceses: 1. Downloading the file, and 2. Parsing the Xml document.

comment Disappeared personal views
Have you had any issues with user profile import or synchronisation? You may find this issue is due to not being able to map users to these views. Are users alerts still working?

Out of left field - if you have quotas and locks configured for the site, check the site is not locked.
