Well, j-b didn't explain exactly why he wanted the release announcement
to wait, apart from "releases should be announced on Mondays or Tuesday",
but it made sense to me - you don't do releases on a Friday night because
by the time it's next week, everyone would've forgotten about it, and if
API users need some advice on how to replace deprecated functions, they'll
hit the point where fewest of us are online. Distributions aren't going to
start trying to package it and figure out deprecated users either.
So I figure having to wait a few more days isn't too bad.
