I agree that the 8 days delay is usually too long these days, and I also would 
like to shorten it. 

However, I'm unsure if we should let the packagers work over the weekend. it 
could also be within a week. Personally I don't care either way, but there are 
two possible solutions: 

a) provide tarballs until Thursday evening (Friday morning latest) and release 
on Tuesday

b) provide tarballs Monday morning and release on Thursday evening. 


Comments? Packagers, which variant do you prefer?

Greetings,
Dirk
