I think it's important to always be realistic about service requirements as well. Though we love the service, I don't think any of us would abandon the site if it were down for a while, even the weekend. It's really only sustained long-term problems that would drive users away.
It's unfortunate that some companies have this extreme focus on uptime even if their service doesn't really require it. If you're running a nuclear power plant, sure, you need ~100%. If you're a medical provider, sure, you need to be always available.
That is, enjoy your weekened. Even if something goes wrong nothing bad will happen. :)

That's a really good perspective. Thanks.
