I'll play devil's advocate here. Do you want to minimize the impact on
the end users, or the number of phone calls generated to the NOC? ;)
And yes, we're alledgedly a one time zone shop. But I've gotten complaints
from Europe when our 3AM window for Listserv updates impacted *their*
ability to post stuff *right now*. Didn't I *understand* that this was
*important* and that it was already *10AM* there? ;)
And I believe the *original* question was (or at least intended to be)
"how do I *calculate/guess* when I'll have the least impact on least users".
And *that* is probably still in the realm of black magic....
