LOL The primary reason was "it's on the calendar every month so the business is used to it and expect that one Saturday afternoon a month the system isn't available. I guess that's easier than asking the business to relinquish it when we actually need to take an outage.

I used to work for a site that was rather static software-change wise. Unless we needed to IPL for an upgrade or PTF install, the system got IPLed spring and fall at time change - namely because we had application software that couldn't handle the time change. My current job we IPL monthly just to keep things cleaned up.
