Deployments during the week of wikimania are always tough. I'm surprised we even tried to do that this year.
There is/was sufficient coverage from both RelEng and SRE so there wasn't an issue of site outage without available people to respond. IOW, no one from RelEng nor SRE was attending Wikimania (sadly).
There is the issue of not getting quick feedback and resolution on UBN! bugs from attendees at the conference, though. (This was obviously dependent on who was at the conference and only manifested itself in a couple cases.)
