    I used to work for a major bank and no code updates ever took 8 hours!
    AND
    all updates were done at night to avoid unnecessary disruption!

    I agree... I used to work in IT and any upgrades/downtime were scheduled 'out of hours', like you say, overnight, or at a weekend when users weren't scheduled to use the system.
