no variance alleviates clusterfucks -- no matter how much some of you wish to deny it.
variance of more than an hour or two encourages poopsock -- and we don't want this again.
classic variance encourages poopsock behavior unless they're in the same exact window -- but you can still discourage poopsock in other ways. The issue would be the drift of windows that wasn't seen on live because of the rarity of patch days here.
The biggest one, though, is how these play into /petitions and general player antisocial behavior.
