Yes. I misspoke. It dropped very very late on Wednesday, most of the work started on Thursday and Friday was a Mayday which is a holiday in many if not most places. So fine, on a technicality it wasn't a Friday release, but it might as well have been. They could have easily waited for Monday.

This is really stretching. Releasing very very late on a "Thursday" is fine. That gives you an entire day to pause everything else, set up mitigations, and see if things still seem to be working. If a whole work day isn't enough then you were probably going to have trouble no matter what day of the week they published. Late late "Thursday" doesn't have to be your favorite but it's not malicious.

Also it was evening UTC but only like noon Pacific time.
