As a former mirror admin, I can vouch for this. However, I don't think
Wednesday would be a particular hardship.

I'm for keeping delays at a week-based granularity for another reason,
though. In the big scheme of things, a delay of a week is unfortunate but
not earth-shaking. Having that be the policy means less thought needs to be
put into quibbling about delaying by N, N-1, or N+2 days, and then
revisiting that again daily. If it's not ready this time, there's a quick
meeting and we move on.
