The releases must be kept on hold until these binaries (and other are done in the same time btw) are validated. See it as part of the QA. As Remi mentioned, many issues have be caught during this process. If it was only about delivering binaries, a day later will never be a problem. But it is not the case. The case we are referring toi is to avoid to have to do a fast patch release to work around an issue we could have seen by validating the binaries.Simple.
I understand your pov and I agree that windows binaries should be ready when announcing the release. But, IMO, everything should have been 'frozen' 2 or 3 days ago and a new openssl release or any other 3rd party software, even tagged 'security fixes' shouldn't have disturbed the process. Or the change is hot enough to delay the date again, but that's another process.
Sorry to say that, as it doesn't remove anything to my respect for the huge work you did, but It's now Dec, 4th in more and more locations in the world and PHP 7 is not released yet ! Zeev is right, nobody cares about UTC in such case.
