I have occasion, likely 10 times a year, to want to push things out
quickly.  So #2 is overkill.  Not sure how to deal with the interlock
issues except maybe a lockfile.

OK.  I'll start building the 10000 ports needed then :-)

OK.

I'd like to get something in place before then, but it doesn't have to
be complete and the current 1 day delay would be OK between now and
then.
