Well you don't want your engineers to be awake doing something at midnight Saturday, and you want some leeway if it doesn't work correctly so you don't have to deal with the consequences of breaking the law. Especially because there's significant pressure from your vendors who don't want to be liable.

Killing something only a few hours before it's legally required isn't early.
