Anatol, We're not dealing with tax forms that have to make it in by midnight UTC but rather with humans. Humans who are very excited and literally can't wait to celebrate the release of PHP - a lot more so as an event than necessarily downloading and installing it right away (if that's what they cared about they could do it already). Releasing it now would mean most of the world gets to actually celebrate it on Dec 3rd, instead of turning it into a frustrating waiting day. I find it hard to imagine people having an issue with us saying the Windows binaries would be coming soon. That's why all in all, I think it's a mistake not to push it out as early in the day as possible, in other words - now. I also think that in general we shouldn't wait with source releases for binary release - but specifically in this case, it's too minor a thing in my opinion to delay a historical release like that of PHP 7.0.0.
