Well people aren't talking about not deploying to staging on Fridays.

And there are hints to what the author actually means, like "Each deploy should be owned by the developer who made the code changes."

That just isn't feasible in a system that's of any reasonable size.

Yeah, what happens when Team A makes a change and Team B makes a different, seemingly unrelated change, and they both get merged and pushed... only to have a dozen customers discover that if someone is using Feature X that Team A just worked on and Feature Y that Team B just worked on while they have Uncommon Option Q enabled, then their backend process server will crash taking down their entire instance.

Who's fault is that?

Asking because I have been the customer with Uncommon Option Q enabled.
