Honestly, I'm not sure that would be very helpful. There tend to be
people with one eye open on things over the weekend (like I was this
weekend), and the fact that it was fixed then meant most people never
saw the break. If we did a giant requirements release every monday
morning it would also be *far* more difficult to figure out just based
on release dates which upstream dependency probably just killed us.
