I've made that very decision. Partly forced due to internal resource constraints. However, swapping getting a working system out and tested with real users instead of waiting an undefined time to get high availability didn't lose me any sleep. It's also the case that some systems can withstand a degree of downtime that others can't, or it's not worth paying the cost for the perceived benefit gained.
