Yep, ok by me! ;)

Ack, for my part.

OOI, are any of these dates fixed by calendar considerations? E.g., even if
we get all the udebs in tomorrow, the debian-installer upload won't happen
until the 9th because that's the first chance anyone will have?
I'm sure the release/ftp teams will happily do whatever possible to move
things forward ahead of schedule, even if it's just to give you more slack
elsewhere in the schedule.
