To my knowledge, the release team has never request this.  We have
only requested that tarballs be released by Monday.  I think that was
the whole point of Danilo's request on the 2.14 schedule, though...

Is Monday enough time, though?  I think some modules (like evo) may
want a little more time to smoketest their own modules...
