Frack it, I voted for poking the TQ park and i'll do it again.
Frack the minor impact it will have on day to day life in the alliance arena. They all want to have lag free fights so if they start wining about extra lag or dropouts then tell em to shove it up a hole no sun will ever shine. TQ is where it happens and TQ is where it needs to be poked at.
I propose a dare to you Tanis.
Drop into fleetfight systems, say in local you're poking the server to find the cause for lag and finally be able to fix it, apologise for any extra inconveniece it might cause but that they're fracked either way so stop wining. Ohh and say the logs won't show a thing so petitions will have no effect either way.
Get results from 1000+ fleetfights with ALL the things that happen in normal combat.
Anyone that thinks that is a bad idea and doesn't want their little fleet fight (for as much as you can call it a fight) interrupted or perhaps even get kicked off the server. Shove it where the sun will never shine... First people whine about CCP not doing enough to fix the lag but then people will whine about CCP fixing the lag most likely
TL;DR: POKE TQ WITH A 1000 YEAR OLD RAINFORREST TREE WHEN A FLEETFIGHT IS HAPPENING CCP!
Tell anyone that whines to f*ck off since you're doing what they want; Trying to find a cause and fix lag. a few more fracked up fleetfights aint gonna hurt anyone much more than it already has.

If I could be sure it'd only affect the fight I'm experimenting on, I'd be with ya. All the nodes are on the same cluster though, so unintended casualties happen. For instance, one experimental fix we've been trying out on TQ recently accidentally torched Jita during prime time.
You accidentally the whole Jita? Good man!Give him a medal!Pay raise! Anything!
If experimental fixes and a collateral damage report every now and then is what will fix Eve, then so be it. Even if you're not doing experimental fixes Jita still feels the load after it goes on for so long. Even if people will scream murder and death (as we all do, i admit) when things are fixed because you burned Jita to the ground 3 times no-one will complain.
If you break a bone do you still whine to the doctor who gave you grief because he had to pull it back in alignment once it's healed? No you thank him because you understand that what he did was neccesary to get healed properly, even if it ment biting off your tongue at that moment. If people start leaving because sometimes Jita gets a bit laggy, which it does anyways so...???, they'll be back not before long because they read on the forums that everything is now 10 times better. Worth the effort and pain.
Fleetfights would improve over time back to pre dominion levels and perhaps even beyond so people start telling their friends again; Hey you know the game i told you about that has massive fleetfights as a selling point but wasn't actually worth the trouble because you wouldn't even see one ship before you crashed and died? THEY FIXED IT SO COME ON AND JOIN!
Equals influx of old and new players that look forward to actually being able to carve out their patch of space again in my book.
Like said before me by a wise man; (slightly adjusted)
You're afraid of turning on the sprinklers because the carpet will get wet, while the 1000 story building is burning and starting to crash in around you with senior and newborn people bailing out before that happens.
TQ will creak and burst at some of the testing sure, but by revealing where the seams and cracks are you can fix them up so you have a 100% foundation again.
Edit; besides, the logs don't show anything anyways so what's the problem? 
EDIT 2;
You still get fleetfight notifications right? Send out a cluster wide warning box that experimental testing will be conducted to make Eve a better place for all. Give em 5-10 minutes with a warning timer box like before DT to get their miner, missionrunner or whatever to safety and run the test. Anyone who didn't listen or pay attention is f*cked and has only themselves to blaim at that point.
