Just to clarify, by delay I mean "instead of release this Wednesday,
let's do it on Friday".  This should only be needed for purposes of
coordinating between the folks doing translations, sending emails,
updating the websites, setting up the ftp servers, and that type of
thing. I expect to start the press release process at the start of
feature freeze (July 1st).
