If it takes several goes to get right it's clearly not a simple
problem! And for RCs rel-eng and QA have a process that circumvents
all of the testing phase to get it straight into the compose so most
of what you outline there for delays is actually garbage. We don't use
this process for nightlies because they're not meant to be fire drills
so should follow the right process.
