Colin,

Most updates are placed first, then the policy is to wait a few days
so all the mirrors can re sync with everything, then lastly post.

Maybe the team needs to review this policy, or come up with a better way.

The main reason for the delay in posting is usually, there is a MAD
rush for everyone to get the updates when the post comes out.  If all
the mirrors haven't caught up, you have a lot of people screaming
about not being able to get the updates.
