One issue is that "time spent deploying" does not appear to be
independent of "time between deployments." If it always took a day to
deploy new code, that would be a good argument in favor of more time
between deployments. But in practice, the more time that passes
without pushing code to the site, the longer it takes to complete the
deployment. Spending a week deploying every other month doesn't really
save much time over spending a day every week.
