This wouldn't delay sarge by a *day*, it would delay sarge by a *week*; the teams that need to be involved to pull off a release can't spare that kind of time outside of their weekends to do so, which means that further sarge delays would happen in one-week increments. That's a bit silly for a bug that can trivially be worked around, documented in the errata, etc. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
