Yes. Note though that you never know who watches your activities. It may
be that someone blocks the publish votes and points out problems. The
people from the build/release team may refuse to build/publish a package
due to concerns, too. Also, if you don't get the review right and in the
current manual build system, the package fails to build, that slows down
the approval once more.
