Comment (by robatino):

 Replying to [comment:4 kevin]:

 > content is being staged, you start making disos, some mistake is found,
 recompose is started, but people start downloading bad/invalid/not
 released disos?

 People would know that anything in the staging area isn't guaranteed
 correct until moved to the final location. It could be visible on a trial
 basis. If too many people ignore the warnings about checking their
 downloads and waste time filing invalid bugs, we could then hide the
 staging area.

 > So, I think we should follow option 1, use a staging area and disos can
 be done once that content is in place.
 > I would think waiting a few minutes really wouldn't be that much burden.

 It usually takes closer to an hour to both create and verify the disos,
 not a few minutes. For Alpha TC1 it's more like 2 hours.
