Extrapolating from our experience from two-week deploy

bugs we find at each stage, would moving to a one-week deploy cycle
substantially increase the number of users exposed to really bad bugs?
For instance, if we're currently finding and fixing about 2 deployment
blocker bugs per cycle after the
mediawiki.org deploy but before the
non-Wikipedias deploy, that data might imply that we should structure a
1-week cycle differently -- perhaps with three stages rather than two.
I don't know what the stats are, but my intuition is that it's not
generally that high. However, the ones we find are kinda big, so it
still makes me nervous to go that route.
I've edited the page, called Greg's proposal "Alternative A", and
added "Alternative B" which provides a little bit of time for catching
issues on
mw.org:
