It's a valid point and I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be done. At the end of the day it's up to Valve, but I agree, unless it's something critical, patches shouldn't be rolled out during peak gameplay hours or on the weekends in general since admins might not necessarily be around their computers.
"Hi Jason, This, for me at least, update seems to break sv_steamgroup_exclusive. These settings seem to yoyo between working and not working with each update." I thought I was the only one that noticed this. This problem has existed since the original L4D and it's absolutely absurd that the behavior of this cvar changes with almost every update.
