Some of the things between tag and announcement are the build process, validation, upload to ftp-master, distribution to mirrors, and release announcement/notes/press release chewing. I'm not sure this is a problem, but it's true that it's dragged out a bit more than usual. Robert N M Watson Computer Laboratory University of Cambridge
