Well, yes. Constitution section 7.1, point 3.

I don't think it's that unreasonable to consider our releases to be the
primary output of our development process. If nothing else, it's rather
hard to keep from never violating the SC temporarily by simple mistake
during unstable development, and treating the release as the point at
which we have to clear all that up provides a firm boundary for what
"temporary" will be in temporary violations.
