Yes, nothing agains an official release date, to ship CD-ROM distributions in time, etc. But the announcement on the list and on the webpage could be delayed until a reasonable set of mirrors has caught up. > 2.

Hmm, that was sent in time. People who have already synced, could have moved to images to the recent directory thus saving to download them again. It was unfortunate, but not a real problem, and it was announced. > 3.
