November 1st is a bank holiday in France, so a lot of sysadmins won’t be happy and systems will be vulnerable.

Most of Europe with a historical Catholic majority. It's even an EU holiday.

This is most likely but another possibility is that it was coordinated to happen on a bank holiday so systems can be dated with less impact from service outages.

companies that abuse on call duty for planned maintenance suck. If it's something predictable or plannable, it's not on call. Hire people to work that day.
