Right, I supposed as much. However, I thought I'd ask to make sure. :)

In some cases this makes sense, at least from my own experience as
Ubuntu release manager. A few days before the release there are bugs
which are perfectly fine as stable updates, but which aren't worth
holding up the release, rolling new CDs, and starting testing of them
all over again.
Thanks for the heads-up!
