We are a major hospital, a 24x7 operation, and even though our application 
owners would like otherwise, if it isn't production we push very hard to do 
maintenance during business hours. Now, we may have to delay based on work 
being done, but it is rare that we absolutely cannot take non-production 
systems down during the day at some point, it may just not be for a few   
weeks.
