And lo, minor chaos did ensue. In the future:

1. The files shouldn't be sent out to the mirrors until somebody from the 
marketing team gives the OK (Martijn, Sebas, Wade, myself, anyone else?)

2. The press release isn't considered complete until a member of the marketing 
team gives it a clear, unambiguous "OK this is final".

3. Once they say it's OK there should be at least a few days for some major 
translations to be made, web pages prepped, the release put into wires that 
take a couple of days to clear, etc. For big releases that should be weeks.

Regards,
Tom
