My background is systems operation. The exception I could see to this is when there are rewards/incentives/etc for uptime or non-change-window uptime. Usually this would be coupled to meeting the goal of 4 9's or 5 9's of uptime, meeting SLA requirements, etc.

Granted, in my time working for a major 3 letter tech company on account with a major finance company my highest exposure to VP/C*O types was fixing the fallout from a whole chain of corporate culture related mistakes. If I hadn't already had a job lined up elsewhere I probably could have gotten a good bump out of it. I doubt that would have happened if I'd identified and fixed the problems. Part of that busted corporate culture. We didn't have metrics around uptime/SLAs there though which considering the clients business was pretty ridiculous.
