So I should just leave a security vulnerability rather than fix it on a Friday, because I won't be available Saturday?
If it has the potential to take down your site? Unless you have someone who can fill in for you, absolutely.
Really, it will come down to a cost/benefit analysis. Are your chances of the site going down due to being hacked over the weekend higher than the chances of a last minute update taking down the site?
The answer is almost always no (much to a sysadmin's chagrin). If the answer is yes (i.e. another heartbleed), then you are probably going to be working through the weekend anyways.
Read to comprehend, not to argue.

This should on the top of every page here.
Don't deploy when you won't be around to support it is a better description; but it doesn't roll off the tongue as easily.
