uhm, thats why they invented torrents like ages ago. releasing the stuff to masses early potentially gives a hole lot of more and better early "final" testing in case there is mess with the release. I also dislike that often opensuse had too many trouble on the final goldmaster bits especially for install and upgrade scenarios and this never gets addressed the whole userbase has to wait for the n+1 release of opensuse and pray for salvation that that release wont give them the trouble the n-release is giving them. debian and others do re-releases of their stuff over the maintenance period where especially bugs and their fixes in the installers, bootloaders and other essential stuff would help the userbase to have a more pleasant opensuse experience.

This is retarded I agree with you :). Seriously let the mirrors keep up with the stuff, thats why we have such stuff as aria and bulk distro means such as torrents and whatever else. Those things are dependable and can be hammered and battered much better than single place of fail servers and stuff. Why not immediately start
You don't understand. You can't release before all the mirrors have got their copies ready. If they try to release too early the downloads will hammer on a very few number of mirrors, because the rest will not be listed, or if listed they will not have the images, or the paths.
You have to give time for the administrators of the mirrors to prepare the changes. This time is also used by the marketing team to prepare the texts. Also you have to write the release notes, license texts... and then you have to ask the translators to translate, which also take time. Days, actually.
Please be patient.
