@chris @vantablack I mean the only thing exceptional here is that it's the #1 country as far as Mastodon server deployments are concerned, so I feel keeping the top 5 countries and their holiday schedules in mind is only beneficial.

In reality, deploying on one of the largest holidays for their #1 deployed country, where most of the instances may not get the patch until the 5th and it's an open source project - is that not also dangerous?

People do have lives outside their instance.
