Well...do you work on Saturdays? No? Why not? Oh, because it's one of two days you have off in the week? What happens if you release an update, it breaks, and you have to fix it? No sweat. What about at 7PM EST on a Friday? If it's a Saturday morning? You don't have the resources you need, and probably aren't enthusiastic about fixing it on your day off. I work at an ISP, we never do turn ups on Fridays. Never. Ever. It's NOT a smart move. "We want this fixed by Monday." Umm...no, go screw yourself. Our vendors aren't in, and nobody works on the weekend (aside from critical staff).
