Option C: Shift Monday deploys to Tuesday. This would at least give us an additional work day to fix issues that have occurred in testing before they hit prod. I personally don't think this goes far enough, but might be a useful tweak to make if option B seems too problematic.
I like this option. U.S. Holidays (and holidays observed by a significant chunk of key WMF employees) often fall on Monday, which means we often have to reschedule these for Tuesday anyway.
I agree.
Though everyone to have commented here so far (myself included) don't deploy code or help fix the bugs that arise after (not directly, anyway). I'd be most interested to hear from Sam, Arthur, Max, Greg, et al. (the people on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments) about how the deployments process(es) are working.

I deploy, both extension and "the train" in rare cases. I would definitely vote for A or C. Although I'd like to think that option B would force better pre-cluster testing, I think a lot of that "desirable" pain would be entirely focused on the person doing the deploy (or the rest of the platform team, who get pulled in when things go really bad), and not on the developer/team who caused the issue.
