As an ops-sided person, this is the exact reason why ops folks always said no to releases on a Friday afternoon.

Ops people would rather be in the pub enjoying their bug free weekend by not risking pushing buggy broken code from developers, in spite of the desperate pleas and guarantees that this batch of code is *definitely* bug free. Last week was just a one-off. Honest. We swear.

EDIT: In the old style of Ops team versus Dev team versus Infra team versus everyone else.
