Thanks, that will be the only way to actually be able to valid a given release (be beta, rc or final). It will also be nicer to the developers actually having other things to do on the Sunday night than fixing what other broke during the weekend. Weekend should not be counted as "productive" day, they are bonuses if some can or want to work during the weekend, but including them in any kind of time plan for a release cannot work.
