Thanks, that's roughly what I was thinking. Would it be safe to expect a month overlap? I need to put something in an e-mail and they'll want a time frame. Unfortunately this is a government project and there's a desire to have a hard answer.

Well, that depends.
With 0.95 the signature format changed, with mirrors providing backwards
compatibility for some time. Also, with help of (up to date) freshclam
and sigtool, you should be able to create old-style signatures for a
local mirror.
I don't know what's planned for 0.96, but I'm sure there will be some
grace period of time if the signature format changes again or other
large-scale changes occur. It's always good practice to test RCs and
read the changelogs attentively.
