With the time offset round to the slow side of the planet, it might make 
sense to publish the release day as Tuesday (eastern? US time midnite), 
but open the servers on Monday as previously. Then the rest of the world 
who are 6-9-16(au)-18(nz) hours ahead would find the release ready for 
download on the specified roadmap day, rather than one-day later (which 
is Tuesday anyway), and thinking...
OK, looks like something major went wrong and the release has slipped 
again, and continually trying refresh to get a non-existent file...  
just an idea.    DaveT.
