Then put it in a temporary folder that is rsynced from the mirror
masters, but not exported it to the world. Later it's just a update to
the file and a hardlink to a proper place.

Or simply ignore that "there might be leaks" problem more -- the
clientele that is huntin for leaks before something is announced is
doing something wrong already in any case. And if the whole process from
finishing to release would be a whole lot shorter then it shortens the
time where something leaks.
