In the end, it's a judgement call.  In this case, my assessment was that
the risk was small enough that I could push after I saw the tarballs
announced.  In other cases I've judged differently and waited for
longer.  If the fix had been even simpler, I would have pushed it right
away, but my confidence with grammar changes is not as high as I would
like.
