It matters a whole lot for the press in Europe -- likely one of the 
reasons why big announcements from international companies based in the 
US often tend to be 10:00am Eastern time (+/- one hour) -- that way you 
get the press people from Europe (still working) and the US (started 
working) in one go and get more attention on the internet within a few 
hours.

Two or three hours later than 10am EST most computer journalists in 
Europe likely are at home or on their way home; when they start working 
on the next day it's old news then and some might just drop it.

IOW: My vote goes to stick to 10am EST, at least for the real Fedora 
releases.
