So a lot of stuff that people do in these things is look at the mean values of distributions (How many, per month, on average, etc).
I think it's valuable to look at the distribution itself. This has 6 days out of the month when people raid, and 0 raiding outside of it. Assume (BIG ASSUMPTION HERE) that a given player is around and available for 8 hours a day. He's got 2 days a month where raiding will happen for him.
That sort of sucks, and I suspect (no evidence here) that it's the reason that the sirken plan, which called for repops to be the only things regular guilds could raid, was rejected. Some form of continuous raiding is enjoyable, so distributing those targets throughout the month is, to my mind, preferable.
Make sense?
