I hate to interject here, but wouldn't you rather test during off-peak 
hours, instead of the heat of Monday morning where a mistake might cost 
a lot more?  That being said, you can apply changes to a single list, 
and not all lists in an installation.  Citing the output from bin/withlist:

    --all / -a
        This option only works with the -r option.  Use this if you want to
        execute the script on all mailing lists.  When you use -a you should
        not include a listname argument on the command line.  The 
variable `r'
        will be a list of all the results.

Best,
Ryan
