Interesting philosophy. I usually deploy new things during the
afternoon/evening early in the week, so that:

        1) I know I will be there the next morning if/when problems occur.
        2) that I can verify everything is running well BEFORE the
           weekend.

Then again, I am in an academic department where people are tolerant of
brief downtimes during the week, but tend to work over the evenings and
weekends and are not tolerant of problems that need to wait over the
weekend. In an 8-to-5 weekday environment, the rules are different...
