You are of course, right. but I am curious. The md5 checksums exist for all of the isos. This means they have been completed already. The fact that they are not uploading them is beginning to worry me, not for any other reason than I did get the 4.6-mini and was going to install it. If they have found some late breaking info that would mean a postponement, then they should email the announcement list.
