In fact, I think it may be even easier for SQE, here's a paradox.
We hope to have nightly builds established, and thus be prepared for PIT
very well; weekly routine is easier to plan in advance (and SQE is all
about planning); finally, we don't really do full-profile manual
testing for PIT. It's all automated + some sanity checks +
cursory verification of actual fixes. This last task will be smaller
if do it weekly.
