	Matthew's suggestion was the first thing I thought of too, but
he expressed it more elegantly than I (no surprise there) so I've. I
just wanted to add: any admin worth his ssh keys should know better
than to upgrade a critical server on Friday afternoon, or (worse yet)
just prior to a planned vacation period.

	At a prior place of employment that was grounds for serious
repercussions. I believe the phrase shared amongst us *nix admins was
something akin to "Do that again and we'll slam your wabblies in a
door." (And that was when the upgrade didn't cause any problems!)
