When is the best time to push new changes to production based on probability they will fall over, usage patterns and day of the week.
I'm relatively lucky as the stuff I do is mostly for businesses so the (obvious to me) push point is 8am Saturday morning, that gives me two days to sort out any problems and there is always some low level usage.
I think vacri hit it with the knowing your audience and what times they are active. If you run a true 24-hour global service then you need to think hard, but a lot of systems have a very select audience that can be properly scheduled. I would imagine midwest farmers would accept updates done Sunday mornings during church hours maybe slipping later into the afternoon during sports.
