Another -cd flamewar already? Wow. :)
Really, the problem is that we don't have an internal distribution
mechanism separate to the extern release mechanism. If we release 2.2r3

release of potato by everyone staying up at ridiculous hours and getting
lucky.

The annoucement needs to go out as soon as people notice apt-get trying
to upgrade their system so they know what's going on. (As an aside,
Joey's announcement was amazingly informative as far as that goes)
