You may have noticed that releases are most often done by our beloved
antipodeans. While the work to request a deployment is trivial, the QA
is not. Engineers may sacrifice a considerable amount of time checking
that QA Staging is deployable. They had this time when most of them were
working on maintenance, but all of them are now on feature work.

I am sure we all appreciate the work done by William, Steven, Ian, and
Robert. Well done. I suspect that no-downtime-deploys would stop if
these gentlemen took a one week holiday, or another large meteor strikes
Au. I think it is time that others arrange for a  no-downtime-deploy.
