If everything is done, why not distribute immediately? With RC2, we had a deletion and renewal of all already distributed files while the directories still were not opened.
Please start that again just now. The "open distribution directories now" signal would be a totally separate thingy for the mirrors, main thing is to get the files just-in-time and distribute internally - many of us mirrors will struggle to deny the need of your very costly Akamai helpout for the first hours, so please honorate "our" struggle to engage all secondary ressorces just-in-time.
We like to give our best and help you this time (first time!) to get able to dismiss the costly Akamai distribution bandwidth, but most german mirrors - your main base, but all willing others too - need some preparation time before your final release signal.
So, please let the code come out just now.
Getting everything ready for publishing takes some time, I'm currently syncing the repo/oss tree internally around to the staging area. And with Coolo ill, it takes a little bit longer ;-( I expect that we have everything on stage on Monday but having the binaries in repo/oss today should give you a head start. We mark everything non-readable until Thursday, 10th of March. As in the past, if any mirror leaks before Thursday, we will remove access of that mirror to the staging area, so please check your setting. Thanks all for your great help!
