Not sure if this has any disadvantages. IIRC the last time we discussed this the mirrors felt rather jilted by it and wondered why they provide a service and why they couldn't just open when they had the bits ready. We set a release date on purpose and coordinate things on purpose. Releasing parts earlier than others just doesn't make sense to me and creates a kind of chaos much less controlled than that of a timed and coordinated release. However I'll discuss it again with more people if you show up at the meeting to talk about it. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
