PDB seem to take about a week to release coordinates that are HPUB (hold
for publication) from when we ask them to. Sometimes they drop the
ball, but mostly this is what we see. If I ask them to release the
coordinates early to get around this lag, I can largely guarantee that
I'll forget to update the JRNL reference.
I believe that the lead time is unnecessarily long. Perhaps one day
might be more reasonable.

There seem to be delays; just as you are reading this brand new,
interesting structure, you realize that the pdb and structure factors
are not released. Quite annoying. This is in large part the fault of the
authors, but maybe PDB could do better, too.
