Based on a little statistical analysis, the best time to do an update (the time with the lowest traffic) is during the 5:00 hour. Over the past 5 months or so, it's been the hour with the lowest average traffic. Thus, I would suggest that the update occur sometime between 5 and 6... preferably earlier than 5:47. However, it does fit in that time slot, and as Brandon mentioned, he's lazy, so no change is really necessary.
So, based on statistics, those of you complaining should just go to bed earlier like all the sane people on these forums
Here's a bit of my corroborating data:
